Ukraine targeted four more Ozon warehouses, and Ozon said six of its facilities were struck within three days. The attacks hit sites across southern Russia and left workers evacuating damaged warehouses as fire crews dealt with burning logistics buildings.
Ozon is Russia's second-largest online retailer after Wildberries, so the strikes reached more than a single storage site. Ozon's shares fell by almost 30% on Monday after it reported the damage, putting immediate pressure on the company’s logistics network and on investors trying to judge how long the shutdowns will last.
Makhachkala and Krasnodar
A logistics hub in Makhachkala in Dagestan was on fire after a drone attack, and Ozon said several people were injured there. A warehouse in Enem on the outskirts of Krasnodar was also on fire, while workers were evacuated from warehouses that came under attack in Adygeysk in Adygeya and in Nevinnomyssk in Stavropol region.
Drone strikes also halted work at an Ozon logistics centre in the Samara region and another in the Orenburg region. Taken together, those sites show the attacks moving across multiple regions rather than hitting one isolated depot, with six facilities affected inside three days.
Putin and the Russian state
The damage lands while Vladimir Putin is moving to give the Russian state special powers to take charge of companies such as Wildberries and Ozon. The decree allows the state to seize physical and financial assets if entities responsible for such facilities are judged to have failed to protect them and are too slow to repair them after any attack, and Putin has said the state will help restore warehouses “at a new technological level.”
That creates a direct clash between Ozon's repair needs and the Russian state's wider push to control badly protected logistics assets. Putin's decree covers fuel, energy, industrial, communications, transport and logistics facilities and other objects regarded as critically important for security and economic stability, so Ozon's damage now sits inside a much broader state response.
Robert Brovdi on Monday
Robert Brovdi said on Telegram that the Ukrainian military struck a Russian Mig-29 fighter plane and two Russian vessels in the Black Sea on Monday. One of the vessels attacked in the Black Sea was a tanker and the other was a bulk carrier, adding to a day of strikes that also included a Russian military plant at Kamensky in the Rostov region, where a fire followed the attack.
For Ozon customers and workers, the immediate issue is whether the damaged warehouses can restart quickly enough to absorb the disruption already spread across six facilities. Ozon has not set out a reopening date for the damaged sites, and the scale of the interruption now depends on how fast repairs can move under the Russian state's new rules for protected assets.
