Ukrainian drone attacks hit Ozon facilities in Russia overnight, with multiple outlets reporting deaths and damage at warehouse sites. Several sources say people are killed in the strikes, though they differ on exact numbers and locations within southern Russia.
The attacks focus on Ozon, Russia’s second-biggest online retailer, and are described as part of a broader pattern of targeting the e-commerce sector. Multiple reports say this comes after weeks of Ukrainian strikes against Ozon’s larger rival, Wildberries, and that the latest strike represents an expansion to additional companies or facilities. One outlet reports the Ozon attack is the first so far against Ozon after earlier strikes on Wildberries, while others describe multiple Ozon warehouses being hit, including sites across the North Caucasus and regions such as Dagestan and Krasnodar.
Outlets generally align on the use of drones and the targeting of Ozon warehouses, while differing in emphasis on whether the Ozon strike is first-time versus ongoing, and on reported casualty figures and specific facility locations.
