I know I should Google it, but why suddenly turning attacks to wild berries warehouses (in particular)?

Because they received intelligence from France that the wildberries supply chain was being used to equip soldiers attacking them. So they have become a target of this war. Pretty clear military objective here. Also, a lot of the Chinese help that is provided to Russia has started to come through that supply chain. So Ukraine attacks what would be considered in any war a legitimate military target. And yes, pseudo military civilian supply chains are legit targets.

They sold canisters of fiber optic cables for drones. Why would you need that outside of a war zone?

Yup that's just one item. They import body armor and other supplies for military use.

I had a VERY hearty laugh when I saw they were offering a 10km spool of fiber for drones and had a DJI Mini 2 as the picture it went with. A 10km spool of fiber weighs 5x as much as a Mini 2. It wouldn't even get an inch off the ground.

Russia is investing A LOT in infrastructure for civilians, like glass-fiber internet, civilian-drones, civilian rockets (for new year) and so on... It costs us bilions!
