Ukraine Shifts Drone Attacks to Russia's Other Amazon
Kyiv’s forces attacked e-commerce giant Ozon sites for the third consecutive night.
Ukrainian drones have intensified their attacks on Russia's e-commerce sector, specifically targeting Ozon, Russia's second-largest online marketplace. Over the past two months, the drones have struck Wildberries, a key competitor and Russia's Amazon, demonstrating that Kyiv views e-commerce logistics hubs as part of the Russian military's supply chain.
In a recent overnight strike, three of Ozon's sites in Russia's Krasnodar, Dagestan, and Adygea regions were hit, causing fires, evacuations, and disrupting operations. A large fire broke out at Ozon's Krasnodar logistics hub, near the Black Sea coast, resulting in the evacuation of staff with no reported casualties. However, the Krasnodar Governor revealed that two children were killed and seven injured in a nearby childcare center due to drone debris.
In the Adygea Republic, an Ozon logistics center was also attacked, and another fire was reported in Dagestan. Shares in Ozon dropped significantly following the attacks, while its major shareholder, AFK Sistema, saw a decrease in its stock value as well.
