Ukraine reportedly targets Russia's Krasnodar, nearby Ozon logistics center in major attack
A retail warehouse was struck by Ukrainian forces in the southern Russian city of Krasnodar, monitoring channels reported Aug. 24.
Ukrainian forces struck a warehouse in Krasnodar, Russia, and a logistic center belonging to the online retail giant Ozon on Aug. 24, according to monitoring channels. The Ozon facility, owned by Russian home goods retailer Kuchenland, was reportedly set ablaze. The attack occurred near the Black Sea coast city, which is located about 250 kilometers from southeastern Ukraine and 365 kilometers from Ukrainian-controlled territory.
Krasnodar Mayor Yevgeny Naumov announced an air raid siren following a drone attack in the city. Two children were killed and seven injured in a childcare center due to debris from fallen drones, as reported by Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev. Debris also fell on residential buildings and under-construction apartment buildings.
The impact caused a fire in warehouse facilities. This is the third night in a row that Ukrainian forces have targeted Ozon facilities, following weeks of attacks on Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries.
