Video shows moment of drone strike on Ozon warehouse in Orenburg and aftermath of Chapaevsk attack
Video posted online appears to show the moment a drone struck an Ozon logistics complex in the Russian city of Orenburg on Aug. 23.
On August 23, a video surfaced online purportedly capturing the moment a Ukrainian FP-1 strike drone targeted an Ozon logistics facility in Orenburg, Russia. The footage, shared by Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+, depicted the drone's attack. The post accompanying the video read: "The moment a Ukrainian FP-1 strike drone attacked an Ozon logistics hub in Orenburg this morning."
Subsequently, footage emerged that illustrated the aftermath of the attack on August 22 in Chapayevsk, situated within Russia's Samara Oblast. Satellite imagery suggested that the resulting fire may have led to the complete destruction of the Ozon warehouse. Ukrainian Telegram channel Supernova+ published the video and confirmed that the Ozon facility had been "burned down completely."
On August 23, Russian sources announced a second drone strike on an Ozon warehouse, this time in Orenburg. Local residents reported witnessing at least one drone strike, although a significant fire was not observed. Ukrainian drones had launched their first attack on an Ozon logistics center on August 22, targeting one of the company's largest fulfillment centers in Volga Oblast, according to Ukrainian defense company Fire Point.
Once fully operational, this hub spans approximately 135,000 square meters and can accommodate over 40 million items, processing more than 215,000 orders daily.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry attributed these attacks to retaliation for previous strikes on Wildberries' logistics hubs, noting that Ozon was now the target of these drone assaults.
