Ukrainian drones hit warehouse of Russian online retailer Ozon in overnight strikes
Elite Academy Desk — here is a clear take on the latest market development for traders following the story.
In a bold overnight assault, Ukrainian drones targeted multiple sites in Russia's Samara region, based on Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev. Notably, an industrial facility and a warehouse owned by Ozon, a prominent Russian online retailer, were struck, causing injuries and operational disruptions. The attacks resulted in the temporary shutdown of Ozon's logistics centre in Chapayevsk. This strike marks the first on Ozon, amid an aggressive campaign impacting its rival, Wildberries. These infrastructure hits are part of Ukraine's strategy against entities underpinning Russia's military efforts. The Russian Defence Ministry noted intercepting 457 Ukrainian drones in the recent flurry of strikes, as tensions continue to escalate between the two nations.
