Russia’s second-biggest online retailer targeted in Ukrainian strikes
Warehouses belonging to Russia's second-largest online retailer have been hit by a wave of Ukrainian drone strikes.
Russian online marketplace Ozon has been targeted by Ukrainian drone strikes, damaging logistics facilities in Krasnodar, Dagestan, Stavropol and Adygea regions. The attacks resulted in several injuries and a major fire in Krasnodar, which injured three children according to Russia's defence ministry. Ozon workers in Adygeysk and Nevinnomyssk were evacuated.
Shares in Ozon dropped by up to 12% on the Moscow Exchange following the attacks. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine had opened "Pandora's box" with its attacks on economic targets, threatening retaliation against Kyiv's "most sensitive economic sectors". Ukraine's defence ministry claimed the strikes on dual-use goods storage centres were complicating the enemy's logistics and negatively impacting the Russian economy.
The attacks are part of ongoing Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure since the full-scale invasion in 2022. Both sides deny deliberately targeting civilians.
