Ukraine keeps up attacks on Russian e-commerce giant Ozon
Russian e-commerce giant Ozon said that its warehouses came under drone attack on Monday, as Ukraine pressed ahead with its campaign targeting logistics sites.
Kyiv has for weeks mounted a campaign targeting Russia’s Wildberries — the country’s top online retailer — alleging it supplied components to the military.
Ozon is Russia’s second-largest online marketplace, with its pick-up points and delivery boxes ubiquitous across the country.
“After Ukrainian units hit the 15 largest logistics hubs of Wildberries, it is now Ozon’s turn,” Ukraine’s defence ministry said on Saturday.
Ozon said “a fire broke out” at a logistics centre in Makhachkala, in southern Russia, following a drone attack at around 5:00 am (0200 GMT) on Monday.
“According to preliminary information, there are several wounded” with no danger to their lives, the firm said in a Telegram message.
Additionally, Ozon warehouses in Adygeysk and Nevinnomyssk — also in the country’s south — were “evacuated due to the threat of a drone attack”, with no injuries or damage to the facilities.
Ozon said earlier in the night that a “major fire” was burning at one of its logistics centres in Krasnodar after a drone attack.
“All systems operated as designed, and we promptly evacuated staff. Preliminarily, there are no casualties,” the company said.
Previous strikes damaged an Ozon centre in Samara, as well as a logistics centre next to an Ozon facility on the outskirts of Saint Petersburg.
Both Ozon and Wildberries have been dubbed “Russia’s Amazon”, due to their control over a huge swath of the fast-growing e-commerce sector.
The attacks on the warehouses — typically easier to reach than heavily defended military installations — have already delivered economic losses worth billions of dollars.
Russia has railed at the attacks on its “civilian infrastructure” more than four years into its full-scale offensive on Ukraine that has killed thousands of civilians and flattened cities across the country’s east and south.
