Ukrainian drones have struck several warehouses belonging to Wildberries, Russia's biggest online retailer, over a matter of days, damaging a key logistics network used by small and medium-sized businesses. The attacks have killed and injured workers, destroyed goods worth an estimated £750m ($1bn), and left many sellers fearing further losses as the war spreads deeper into Russia.
After months of drone attacks on oil depots and refineries, Kyiv says it is now targeting logistics hubs used by Russians to buy military equipment and to disrupt supplies to the Russian army. But the strikes have also hit hundreds of Russian sellers who rely on online marketplaces for their livelihoods, making the war feel closer to home after almost four and a half years.
