Ukrainian Drones Hit Ozon Warehouse in Samara Region

The strike is the first on Ozon so far, after weeks of attacks targeting its larger rival, Wildberries.

Ukrainian drones struck an industrial facility and the Ozon warehouse in the Samara region overnight, according to Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev. The attacks wounded several individuals, though the identity of the industrial facility remains undisclosed. Ozon, Russia's second-largest online retailer, reported that its Samara region logistics center in Chapayevsk was temporarily halted due to injuries sustained from the strike.

This marks the first attack on Ozon since weeks of targeting its larger competitor, Wildberries, which Ukraine has linked to a broader assault on Russia's economic infrastructure amid its military campaign. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed to have downed 457 Ukrainian drones in the same period. Meanwhile, The Moscow Times, a Russian news outlet, faces repercussions from the Russian government, being labeled as an 'undesirable organization' and 'foreign agent,' which threatens its staff's safety and journalistic freedom.

Despite these challenges, The Moscow Times remains committed to providing unbiased reporting and invites support from its readers.
