Ukrainian drones targeted at least three Ozon logistics centers and numerous other sites across southern Russia and occupied Crimea on August 23-24, marking the third consecutive night of strikes against the retail giant. The attacks occurred on Ukraine's Independence Day, commemorating the country's 35th anniversary of declaring independence from the Soviet Union.
Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported that drone debris struck a childcare center, resulting in the death of two children and injuries to seven others, including two adults. Additionally, debris fell on residential buildings and under-construction apartment blocks. The strikes caused fires at warehouse facilities in Krasnodar and Adygea Republic, while another Ozon hub in Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai, also caught fire following an attack.
In occupied Crimea, a radar tracking unit suffered a fire after four drone strikes in the region. The frequency and intensity of these attacks have escalated in recent days, with earlier strikes targeting Ozon logistics centers in Samara Oblast and Orenburg, as well as Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, which Ukraine accuses of supplying components to the Russian military.
