Russian online retailer Ozon warehouse in Orenburg region hit in drone attack, governor says
Aug 23 (Reuters) – The governor of Russia’s Orenburg region said on Sunday that two industrial facilities were hit by drone debris, including a warehouse owned by Ozon, a major Russian online retailer.
Governor Yevgeny Solntsev said that the Russian defence ministry had repelled six drones over the region, adding that no one had been injured. He did not name the second damaged facility.
Ozon, Russia’s second-largest online retailer, said in a statement on Telegram that the company had evacuated more than 300 people and that work at its Orenburg region logistics centre had been halted.
On Saturday, Ukrainian drones hit an Ozon logistics centre in Russia’s Samara region in a strike which was the first on Ozon. The strike follows weeks of drone attacks targeting its larger rival Wildberries, which Ukraine has cast as part of a wider campaign against economic infrastructure underpinning the Russian war in Ukraine.
Russia’s defence ministry said it downed 328 Ukrainian drones overnight.
