Russia’s Ozon Says Four Logistics Hubs Targeted by Ukrainian Drones
The retailer said fires broke out and operations were suspended after the attacks, while shares fell as much as 12%, Reuters reported.
- On Monday, August 24, 2026, Ukrainian drones targeted four logistics hubs owned by Russian e-commerce giant Ozon across southern Russia, coinciding with Ukraine's 35th Independence Day and bringing the total targeted facilities to six since August 22.
- Ukrainian officials have systematically targeted facilities belonging to Ozon and Wildberries, often called 'Russia's Amazon,' claiming these hubs store dual-use goods supporting Moscow's military after weeks of strikes against rival Wildberries.
- Falling drone debris struck a private childcare center in Krasnodar, killing two children and injuring seven others and two adults, Governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported; fires also broke out at logistics facilities in Makhachkala and Enem.
- Shares in Ozon fell by as much as 12% on the Moscow Exchange following the attacks, while stock in major shareholder AFK Sistema dropped nearly 13%, signaling immediate financial consequences.
- These attacks mark the third consecutive night of strikes on the retail giant as Kyiv continues its strategy to 'bring the war to the Russian rear,' seeking to impose economic costs on ordinary Russians.
