Russia’s number two online retailer reports drone attacks on logistics hubs in two regions
Ozon reported attacks on two logistics hubs while analysts placed smoke over a Rosneft refining complex in Ufa.
Russian online retail giant Ozon reported drone attacks on its logistics centers in Ufa and Orenburg Oblast on August 27. Both sites were evacuated, and preliminary reports indicated no casualties. Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ showed a drone hitting a Bashkortostan warehouse and exploding. Ukraine's campaign of strikes has targeted Russian refining capacity, storage space, and freight throughput, with the attacks taking refining sites, storage areas, and freight routes out of service repeatedly.
The strike on camera showed a warehouse burning in Blagoveshchensk, about 1,300 kilometers from the war zone. Around midday, eyewitness video from Blagoveshchensk showed a drone reaching Ozon's fulfillment center and detonating, though the channel later reported the warehouse did not catch fire. Another warehouse in Orenburg, about 1,200 kilometers from the war zone, has since resumed operations. Ufa's airport was closed following the attack.
