Overview
- Russian authorities said drone debris from strikes on July 29 caused fires at a Ryazan oil refinery and damaged a Wildberries sorting complex, with six people hospitalized and no immediate threat to their lives.
- Wildberries has begun seeking about 100,000 square meters of warehouse capacity in Kazakhstan while saying logistics projects in Almaty and Astana were already under construction.
- Insurance brokers and Russian warehouse owners are reported to be reluctant to host Wildberries because standard policies often do not cover damage from drones or military strikes, complicating rapid relocation.
- Ukrainian and Ukrainian presidential statements allege some Wildberries sites were used to move sanction‑restricted drone components, and the company removed a prominent military‑goods tag even as related items remain for sale in other categories.
- The Russian Defence Ministry reported hundreds of Ukrainian UAVs shot down over many regions, a claim officials cite to show broad air-defence activity even as attacks and falling debris continue to cause local damage.
