Ukrainian defence firm Fire Point said its FP-1 drones carried out the strike, describing the site as a key hub for storing, sorting and distributing goods that keep major Russian logistics networks running.

The company added that attacks on fuel and energy infrastructure pile economic pressure on Russia, disrupt supply chains and force Moscow to spend more on repairing and defending critical sites.

Five to eight people were killed in the wave of Ukrainian strikes.

Separately on Sunday, Ukraine's General Staff said its forces had struck the Saratov oil refinery, the Engels airbase, an oil depot in Kaluga region and other targets.

Wildberries warehouses have been targeted in at least eight Russian regions since mid-July.

The company says the attacks have cut its logistics capacity by around 10 percent.

Wildberries is Russia's largest e-commerce platform, handling millions of orders a day.

Kyiv says it is targeting infrastructure that supports Russia's war effort.

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Wildberries warehouses stored dual-use goods, including electronics and navigation equipment, used by Russia's defence industry and drone manufacturing.

Russia has denied the claims.
