# Ukraine drones hit Wildberries warehouses in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk for a third time in five days > Ukrainian drones struck logistics hubs of Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, in Nevinnomyssk and Krasnodar overnight on July 22, causing large fires and injuring several people; separate strikes on occupied Crimea triggered blackouts across the peninsula and a Russian MiG-29 fighter jet was struck at Kursk's Khalino airfield **Meta:** type: event · date: 2026-07-22 · heads: How Wars Actually End · 10 takes · 4 lenses · 4 regions ## Summary Ukrainian drones struck Wildberries logistics complexes in Nevinnomyssk (Stavropol Territory) and Krasnodar overnight on July 22, the third wave of such attacks in five days following earlier strikes on July 18 and 20. Tatyana Kim, the company's head and co-founder, confirmed the attacks and said several people were injured. Simultaneous strikes on occupied [Crimea](/en/entity/crimea) caused blackouts reported across the peninsula. The [Ukraine](/en/entity/ukraine) General Staff separately reported that a Russian MiG-29 fighter jet and a Pantsir-S1 air defense system were struck at the Khalino airfield in Kursk Oblast. Russian attacks over the previous 24 hours killed at least 10 people and injured 87 across [Ukraine](/en/entity/ukraine), according to Kyiv's figures. ## The split Ukrainian and Western outlets framed the Wildberries strikes as a sustained campaign against Russian logistics infrastructure with clear economic targeting logic, noting the company's role as [Russia](/en/entity/russia)'s largest online retailer serving civilian supply chains. CGTN and Kommersant reported the strikes factually without military attribution, reflecting China and Russia's consistent avoidance of assigning responsibility. The Crimea blackouts drew less coverage in Russian-language outlets, which typically minimize reporting on power disruptions in occupied territory. ## By the numbers - 3, number of Wildberries drone strike waves since July 18 - 10, people killed by Russian attacks across Ukraine in the prior 24 hours - 87, people injured by Russian attacks in the same period - 217, combat engagements recorded on July 21 per Ukraine's General Staff ## Why it matters Striking civilian logistics infrastructure, particularly a retail company serving millions of Russian consumers, is a shift from pure military targeting and signals that Ukraine is expanding the economic cost of the war inside Russian territory. Wildberries operates roughly 10,000 pickup and delivery points across Russia; repeated fires at its hubs create visible disruption for ordinary Russians. ## What to watch - Whether Russia identifies or intercepts drone launch points to reduce the strike rate - Ukrainian General Staff guidance on whether Wildberries targeting continues as a named campaign - Economic damage assessments from Wildberries on inventory and logistics disruption - Russian domestic media coverage and public reaction to visible civilian-sector damage ## Regional takes (batched by bias / lens) ### Ukrainian independent English-language outlet, first to report fires and Crimea blackouts as a coordinated overnight wave - **Kyiv Independent** (Ukraine, en) — The Kyiv Independent tied the Wildberries warehouse fires in southern Russian cities to simultaneous blackouts across occupied Crimea, reporting that monitoring channels had attributed both to Ukrainian drone strikes on retail logistics infrastructure. > "Blackouts were reported throughout occupied Crimea, and massive fires broke out in several southern Russian cities amid Ukrainian strikes on retail logistics facilities overnight on July 22."
