On 18 July 2026, Ukrainian drones destroyed the Wildberries warehouse in Elektrostal and another in Kotovsk, which resulted in the deaths of seven people with another 24 injuries.
This casualty count is wrong. Reports on July 18, 2026 said seven workers were killed in Kotovsk, but many more than 24 people were injured across the two Wildberries sites, and at least one wounded person in the Moscow region later died.
Full reasoning
Contemporaneous reporting on the July 18, 2026 drone attacks does not support the article's claim that the two Wildberries warehouse strikes caused only seven deaths and 24 injuries in total.
According to AP's reporting, carried by CBS News:
- Seven night-shift workers were killed at the Wildberries warehouse in Kotovsk.
- 25 others were wounded there.
- In the Moscow region attack affecting the Wildberries facility in Elektrostal, 37 people were wounded, and one later died in hospital.
So the warehouse attacks accounted for far more than 24 injuries, and the death toll tied to the two warehouse incidents rose above seven once the hospitalized Elektrostal victim died. AP also described the sites as hit and set on fire, not simply as a total of seven dead and 24 injured.
Because the article compresses the two incidents into a single total of "seven people" dead and "another 24 injuries," it materially understates the reported casualties.

Two sprawling warehouses of Russia's major online retailer, Wildberries, were hit by Ukrainian drones overnight... Seven night shift workers were killed at the warehouse in Kotovsk, and 25 others were wounded... A total of 37 people were wounded in the Moscow region, Vorobyov said, adding that one of those later died in the hospital.
The company processes an average of 750,000 online orders per day.
This figure is badly outdated. Wildberries' own 2025–2026 materials say the platform handles roughly 19.5–20 million daily purchases/orders, not 750,000.
Full reasoning
Wildberries' own recent materials contradict the statement that the company processes only 750,000 online orders per day.
- In a 2026 PRO Wildberries explainer for pickup-point partners, the company says "19.5 million purchases on Wildberries every day" are collected through pickup points.
- Another recent Wildberries educational page states "More than 20 million orders daily".
That means the article's present-tense figure of 750,000 orders per day is not current and substantially understates Wildberries' own reported daily order volume by more than an order of magnitude.
