Reports indicate that depots belonging to the second largest online retailer in Russia were struck by Ukrainian drone strikes. According to information broadcast by News Gazeta Express, the attacks affected multiple logistics facilities. Ozon, the company in question, reported that its sites located in the southern regions, including Krasnodar, Dagestan, Stavropol, and Adygea, sustained fires during the night, resulting in several reported injuries.
The incident follows weeks of targeted strikes against other major Russian commerce entities. Ukraine has repeatedly targeted facilities associated with Wildberries, which is identified as the largest online retailer in the country. Ukrainian authorities have cited the company’s alleged role in supplying components for the military as the basis for these strikes, a claim that Moscow has officially denied.
In response to the escalating pattern of attacks on economic infrastructure, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the situation on Saturday. He stated that Ukraine’s actions, specifically targeting economic assets, represented an opening of a significant crisis. The reports detail a pattern of military action against civilian and commercial supply chains, impacting major players within the Russian e-commerce sector.
