Among the reported targets was a Wildberries logistics center covering approximately 44,000 square meters. The facility serves as the company's primary distribution hub for the Volgograd and Astrakhan regions, as well as several neighboring areas.
The drones also reportedly struck the Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka oil refinery, one of Russia's largest oil refining facilities. The extent of the damage to the refinery has not been independently verified.
