Ukraine Drones Strike Four More Ozon Warehouses in Russia
- Ukrainian drones struck four Ozon warehouses in southern Russia on Monday, days after destroying two further Ozon facilities over the preceding weekend.
- Ukraine had already hit at least 12 logistics centres belonging to Wildberries, Ozon's main domestic rival, reportedly driving it to the brink of bankruptcy.
- The dual campaign against Russia's two largest e-commerce platforms marks a significant escalation in Ukraine's targeting of Russian commercial infrastructure.
Ukrainian drones struck four Ozon warehouses in southern Russia on Monday, extending a campaign against the country's e-commerce infrastructure that had already destroyed two further Ozon facilities over the preceding weekend.
A widening assault on Russian retail logistics
The latest raids form part of what has been characterised as a sustained punishment campaign against key economic infrastructure. Before turning to Ozon, Ukrainian forces had struck at least 12 logistics centres belonging to Wildberries — Russia's other dominant e-commerce platform, broadly comparable in scale to Amazon — reportedly leaving that company on the brink of bankruptcy. The sustained assault on Wildberries has been among the most conspicuous examples of Ukraine's targeting of Russian commercial infrastructure.
Six Ozon facilities struck within days
With at least six Ozon warehouses struck within the space of a weekend and a single Monday, the campaign appears to have shifted focus toward that platform in earnest. The precise locations of Monday's four targeted hangars, beyond their being in the south of Russia, have not been confirmed in the available material. Nor has the full extent of structural damage or any casualties been specified.
The parallel campaigns against both Wildberries and Ozon point to a deliberate effort to disrupt Russia's commercial distribution network at scale. Whether those effects will prove durable — and whether further strikes are planned — remains unresolved.
