After Wildberries, Ukraine launches drone campaign on Russia’s Ozon
After Ukrainian forces struck 15 logistics hubs of top Russian online retailer Wildberries over alleged military links, rival e-commerce giant Ozon is now being targeted.
On Monday, Ukraine launched a drone assault on a logistics center belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Ozon, causing a major fire at one of its facilities in the southern Krasnodar region. The company's Telegram message stated that all systems operated as designed, with no reported casualties. Previously, on Sunday, another fire broke out at an Ozon logistics hub in the central Orenburg region following a drone attack, leading to the suspension of operations at the warehouse.
The strikes came after Ukraine announced a fresh campaign targeting Ozon on Saturday, following the military's successful hits on Wildberries' 15 largest logistics hubs earlier in the week. The attacks have dealt significant economic losses to the Russian company, as several warehouses were packed with flammable products and destroyed.
In response to the growing military pressure, Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged support for Wildberries, vowing to help rebuild the logistics hubs targeted by Ukrainian attacks.
