Ukraine’s offensive against Russia causes petrol panic across Central Asia

War-induced shortages set off cross-border fuel runs and deepen energy problems for Russia's allies.

On the night of August 24, Ukrainian drones targeted three warehouses belonging to Russia's second-largest online retailer, Ozon, across Dagestan, Stavropol Krai, and Adygea. These warehouse fires led to the closure of one hub and a decline in Ozon's stock prices upon Monday trading. The largest warehouse struck, with an area of approximately 130,000 square meters, was situated in Tyube, Dagestan, which is about 800-900 kilometers from Ukraine's border.

The other two sites, measuring 93,514 and 91,200 square meters respectively, were located in Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai, and near Enem, Adygea. The three affected warehouses together span a combined area of 314,714 square meters, making them significant targets for Ukrainian drone attacks.
