Ukrainian strikes hit Russia's second-largest e-commerce platform

Russian e-commerce giant Ozon reported that its logistics infrastructure across southern Russia came under attack during overnight strikes, marking a continuation of cross-border military operations in the region. The company confirmed that warehouse facilities in Dagestan and Krasnodar sustained damage from the strikes, though initial assessments of the full extent of disruption to operations remained unclear.

The strikes represent an escalation in targeting Russian commercial infrastructure, with Ozon being one of the country's largest online marketplaces. The company has not disclosed estimates of financial losses or provided details on the number of facilities affected or the duration of potential service interruptions.

Ukrainian military operations have increasingly focused on disrupting logistics networks and supply chains within Russian territory in recent months. The southern regions targeted in the latest strikes serve as critical distribution hubs for major Russian retailers and e-commerce platforms serving the broader domestic market.

Ozon operates hundreds of warehouses across Russia and maintains a significant share of the country's online retail sector. The extent to which the attacks will impact customer deliveries and the company's broader operations remains to be determined as assessment efforts continue.
