Ukrainian Strikes Hit Ozon Warehouses in Southern Russia, Causing Extensive Damage

Multiple Ozon logistics facilities across southern Russia were struck by Ukrainian drones in overnight attacks, according to statements from the online retailer. The company, which is Russia's second-largest, confirmed that its warehouses in Dagestan and the Krasnodar region sustained direct hits.

Initial assessments indicate substantial damage to the affected sites. Ozon has reported that operations have been disrupted as a result of the strikes, which targeted key distribution hubs within Russia's logistical network.

This incident follows a pattern of Ukrainian targeting of Russian infrastructure beyond immediate conflict zones. Western military analysts interpret such actions as attempts to degrade Russia's economic capacity and logistical resilience, thereby impacting its war effort. Moscow has yet to issue a detailed statement regarding the specific extent of the damage or any countermeasures taken.
