  "account": "Ozon's shares on the Moscow Exchange plummeted more than 28% following Ukrainian drone attacks on its warehouses, according to wire material. The value of a share dropped to 2,129 rubles by 10:30 a.m. Moscow time, a sharp decline from earlier in the day. Following the opening of the Moscow Exchange's main trading session, Ozon shares slipped an additional 12.7%, settling at 2,600 rubles. The Moscow Exchange's benchmark index also suffered, opening at 2,092 points, marking a 2% drop from the previous session's close.\n\nUkrainian forces have targeted Ozon warehouses in multiple Russian regions for the third day in a row. These attacks have sent shockwaves through the market, affecting one of the largest and most liquid securities traded on the exchange. The blue-chip stocks, which include Ozon, are integral to calculating Russia's benchmark stock index. Ukraine's military has a history of striking warehouses belonging to other major Russian online marketplaces, notably Wildberries, which, unlike Ozon, does not trade publicly.\n\nThe Meduza news organization has taken great care in reporting this story, ensuring transparency in its use of artificial intelligence.
