Ukrainian Drone Strikes Target Ozon Logistics Facilities Across Russia
· World · BBC News, Euronews
Ukrainian drone strikes have hit multiple logistics warehouses belonging to Ozon, Russia's second-largest online retailer, causing fires and injuries in the Krasnodar, Dagestan, Stavropol, and Adygea regions. The Russian defence ministry reported that three children were killed and six others hospitalised following an attack in Krasnodar. Ozon shares fell by 12% on the Moscow Exchange, while its major shareholder, AFK Sistema, saw its stock drop by nearly 13%. The Kremlin stated it is working with business representatives to explore support options for the company. These strikes follow similar recent attacks on Russia's largest retailer, Wildberries, which Ukraine claims is a legitimate target due to its alleged supply of military components.
Why it matters
The targeting of major commercial logistics hubs signals an escalation in the conflict, directly impacting Russia's domestic retail economy and civilian safety. This shift toward economic infrastructure risks broader disruptions to supply chains and retail operations within Russia.
