Russian e-commerce giant Ozon reports drone strike

Russian e-commerce giant Ozon reported on Wednesday that one of its warehouses was hit by a drone attack. The incident occurred in Adygeysk, a city in southern Russia, where a fire broke out, leading to the evacuation of employees. The company confirmed on Telegram that no one was injured in the attack. This is not the first time Ozon has been targeted by drones; earlier strikes damaged its center in Samara and logistics centers near an Ozon facility on the outskirts of St Petersburg.

These assaults on Russian warehouses, which are generally more accessible than fortified military bases, have already resulted in significant economic losses. The escalation of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia has cast doubt on the prospects of reaching a resolution at upcoming US-led talks scheduled for next week, as the conflict continues in its fifth year.
