Satellite image shows fire damage at one of Ozon’s largest Russian warehouses
Russian media published a satellite image on Aug. 24 showing fire damage at a distribution center operated by Russian marketplace Ozon in the settlement of Tyube near Makhachkala.
On August 24, Russian media released a satellite image depicting extensive fire damage at a major distribution center belonging to Russian online marketplace Ozon, situated in the Tyube settlement near Makhachkala. This warehouse is reportedly one of the company's largest facilities, with a construction date of last year as part of the North-South transport corridor connecting Russia, India, Iran, and other nations.
The expansive facility spans over 130,000 square meters, with a significant portion already in ashes when the image was captured at 11:19 a.m. local time. Prior to this incident, on August 22, Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles targeted an Ozon warehouse in Samara Oblast for the first time, resulting in a substantial blaze that engulfed more than 135,000 square meters of the building.
According to Ukrainian defense firm Fire Point, the Samara facility is among Ozon's most substantial fulfillment centers in the Volga region, equipped to handle over 40 million items. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry attributed these strikes to a series of targeted attacks on Wildberries' 15 largest logistics hubs, following which Ozon became the subsequent target.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov issued a stern warning to Ukraine, vowing to carry out continuous strikes, both daily and nightly, in response to the ongoing attacks on the marketplace.
