Ukraine’s latest strike on Russian Wildberries warehouse shown in satellite images

  • Kyiv has launched another drone strike on a Wildberries warehouse in Yekaterinburg , Russia, marking the 20th such attack since 18 July as part of a three-week campaign to 'bring the war home' to ordinary Russians.
  • The latest incident involved three drones hitting the roof of the logistics centre, though the company reported the resulting blaze was contained and most goods remained undamaged.
  • Satellite imagery from Reuters indicates that these Ukrainian attacks have collectively destroyed one-fifth of the Russian online retailer Wildberries' total storage capacity.
  • Separately, new US intelligence assessments reportedly warn that Russian President Vladimir Putin could test NATO's unity with a limited attack on a member state within the next few years.
  • These potential attacks on Nato are anticipated to involve cyberattacks, sabotage, or small-scale ground incursions, rather than a full-scale invasion, and come amidst US shortages of key munitions like long-range and Stinger missiles.
