Ukrainian drones launched attacks on major logistics hubs operated by e-commerce company Ozon and electronics retailer DNS in Russia's Rostov region on Saturday morning, Aug. 29. The targets included DNS facilities in Rostov-on-Don and Aksay, with the attack igniting a significant fire at the DNS site. The Rostov Regional Governor, Yury Slyusar, confirmed the drones caused damage and found fragments in the Aksay district.
Simultaneously, Ozon's logistics hub in the Rostov region sustained a small, extinguished fire. The attacks align with the activation of a regional state of emergency, retroactive to July 10, 2026, due to disrupted shipping in the Azov-Black Sea basin, according to a decree signed by Slyusar. Ukrainian authorities attribute the disruptions to their armed forces' attacks, causing agricultural product accumulation and potential material losses.
The Rostov strikes occur amid a series of Ukrainian drone assaults on Russia's oil refining capacity, with the Yaroslavnefteorgsintez (Slavneft-YANOS) refinery in Yaroslavl being the most recent target on Aug. 28. Regional Agriculture Minister Anna Kasyanenko has been appointed to manage the emergency response, which follows a series of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian logistics and oil-refining infrastructure in 2026, disrupting military supply chains and fuel production.
