Russia Strikes Kyiv Following Ukrainian Drone Attacks
Russia launched missile attacks on Kyiv after Ukraine targeted e-commerce warehouses in Russia with drones.

Ukrainian drones have struck multiple facilities belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, in the Perm Krai and Udmurt Republic regions. This operation, which occurred on July 29 and the night of July 29-30, is part of Ukraine's ongoing strategy to reduce the military-economic potential of Russia amid the ongoing conflict.
According to reports from Ukraine's General Staff, the drone strikes targeted important enemy facilities, including a logistics center for Wildberries. Local Russian Telegram channels reported that a large-scale drone attack occurred on the morning of July 30, leading to air defense activity, disruptions at Perm airport, and power outages in the area.
Images and videos shared on social media depict extensive damage to a Wildberries warehouse located in Sarapul, Udmurt Republic, where a large fire was reported. The company confirmed the incident, stating that firefighting units were on site and that there were no initial reports of casualties, as people had been evacuated in advance.
This incident follows a previous attack on July 29, where a Wildberries sorting hub in Penza was also targeted, resulting in a significant fire. This sorting hub serves as a crucial distribution point for the Volga Federal District.
Additionally, the Ukrainian Security Service has confirmed strikes on the Perm Oil Refinery, one of Russia's largest oil processing facilities, which plays a vital role in supplying fuel to both civilian and military sectors. The refinery has a capacity of nearly 13 million tonnes per year and is located over 1,500 km from Ukraine.
As the situation continues to develop, the implications of these drone strikes on Russia's logistics and military supply chains remain to be seen.
