Russian online retailer Ozon warehouse in Orenburg region hit in drone attack, governor says
- On Sunday, August 23, 2026, Ukrainian drones struck an Ozon warehouse and another industrial site in Russia's Orenburg region, Governor Yevgeny Solntsev confirmed, with debris causing damage despite defense forces repelling six drones.
- This strike follows weeks of Ukrainian drone campaigns targeting Russian economic infrastructure, including recent attacks on retailer Wildberries and an Ozon logistics centre in Samara region on Saturday.
- Ozon evacuated more than 300 people and halted operations at the facility, which represents a $48 million investment spanning approximately 40,000 square meters with capacity for more than 31 million goods.
- Debris ignited a fire at the complex, which Emergency Situations Ministry personnel quickly extinguished, according to Orenburg Mayor Albert Yumadilov; Russia's Defense Ministry reported downing 328 Ukrainian drones overnight.
- The attack disrupts a key logistics hub designed to accommodate more than 31 million goods and support more than 1,000 jobs, forcing the retailer to suspend deliveries and remove goods from marketplace listings.
