Attacks since July 18 damaged more than 10% of Wildberries' storage capacity, killed nine people and left some marketplace sellers facing multimillion-rouble losses and potential insolvency.
Ukrainian drone strikes have hit eight Wildberries warehouses since July 18, damaging facilities that account for more than 10% of the Russian online retailer's storage capacity, killing nine people and disrupting thousands of small businesses that rely on the marketplace. Sellers including fashion designer Viktoria Terekhova and clothing brand co-founder Oleg Kondratyev told Reuters they lost inventory worth about 10 million roubles and 5 million roubles respectively, leaving them struggling to service loans, meet tax obligations and assess whether compensation will be available.
