A Ukrainian drone strike set fire to a logistics hub owned by Russian e-commerce giant Ozon in southern Russia, according to the company and a regional official. The attack occurred in the town of Adygeysk, marking the second time the facility has been targeted. Ozon confirmed the incident, stating it was part of a broader campaign by Ukraine to disrupt Russia’s economy and war effort. Since July, Ukraine has reportedly hit dozens of warehouses operated by Ozon and its competitor Wildberries.
The attack follows a pattern of targeted strikes aimed at critical infrastructure. Ozon, a major player in Russia’s retail sector, has been a frequent target of Ukrainian military operations. The fire at the Adygeysk facility is believed to have damaged significant portions of the building. Russian authorities have not yet commented on the incident, but similar attacks have been attributed to Ukrainian forces in the past.
This incident adds to the ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides engaging in strategic strikes to weaken each other’s capabilities. The attack on Ozon highlights the increasing focus on economic targets as part of the broader conflict. Meanwhile, humanitarian efforts continue amid the war, with reports of casualties and ongoing displacement in Ukraine. The situation remains volatile, with both nations continuing to escalate their military and economic pressures.
