Today, Ozon's logistics center in the Samara region was hit by a drone attack, causing a fire at the warehouse, according to infohub.kz.
According to Ozon's official statement, all systems operated normally, and over 500 employees were evacuated within minutes. "However, unfortunately, there are casualties. We will certainly provide them with all necessary support," the company said.
Emergency services are on site, and ambulances are on standby. The warehouse's operations have been suspended indefinitely. The extent of the damage is being assessed.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the attack and posted a video from the scene on his Instagram page. "Over the past 24 hours, our troops have struck the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery, located 1,000 kilometers from the front line, depriving the Russian army of millions of dollars in export revenue. We have also struck a logistics center in the Samara region and targets in the Black Sea," he wrote.
It is worth recalling that on the night of July 18, Ukrainian drones attacked two major logistics centers of the Russian marketplace Wildberries in the Tambov region and the Moscow region. Subsequently, the company's facilities in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, St. Petersburg, the Leningrad region, and Crimea were also targeted.
