Russia's second-biggest online retailer targeted in Ukrainian strikes
Ozon says its warehouses across southern Russia, including in Dagestan and Krasnodar, were hit in the overnight strikes.
Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted the logistics facilities of Russia's second-largest online retailer, Ozon, in the southern regions of Krasnodar, Dagestan, Stavropol, and Adygea. The attacks resulted in fires at several of Ozon's logistics centers, leading to injuries among several people. Ukraine has been striking sites of the largest online retailer, Wildberries, for weeks, describing Wildberries as a legitimate target due to its military component supplies.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine had opened Pandora's box by striking economic targets, and Russia would retaliate against Kyiv's most sensitive economic sectors. Following the attacks, Ozon's shares fell by as much as 12% on the Moscow Exchange.
