A drone attack targeted a logistics center operated by Russian online retailer Ozon in southern Russia's Adygea Republic on the night of November 4, according to the company's press release. No injuries have been reported as the Ozon team promptly evacuated all staff members. A fire ensued, and emergency services are currently attending to the scene.
In response, Ozon has removed damaged products from its online platform, and orders unable to be fulfilled will be canceled.

Following an attack on October 27, explosions and flames were observed in Lipetsk, Russia, with Ukrainian monitoring service Exilenova Plus reporting the incident. The Azot chemical plant in Novomoskovsk, situated in Tula Oblast, also suffered a fire following a claimed Ukrainian drone strike. This plant has been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drones in recent months.
