Overview
On July 18, 2026, Ukrainian forces launched widespread long-range drone strikes across Russia, targeting key infrastructure including two major Wildberries logistics hubs in the Moscow and Tambov regions. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy confirmed these facilities were chosen because they supplied sanctioned components vital for Russian drone and navigation equipment production. The Russian Defense Ministry reported intercepting 379 drones over 19 regions, Crimea, and nearby seas. These attacks marked a strategic shift by Ukraine to disrupt Russia’s military supply chains and economy, causing significant operational disruption, casualties, and highlighting the evolving nature of modern warfare where civilian and military targets increasingly overlap.
