Online marketplace Ozon has reported new drone attacks targeting its logistics facilities in the Russian cities of Orenburg and Ufa. The company stated that Ukrainian drones were involved in the attempted attacks.

Ozon confirmed that all employees were promptly evacuated from the affected sites. Preliminary reports indicate no injuries and no fires occurred. The facility in Orenburg has already resumed operations, having temporarily limited FBS (fulfillment by seller) shipments for one day. However, the logistics complex in Ufa sustained minor damage and remains closed.

This incident follows a previous attack on August 22, when Ukrainian drones targeted an Ozon logistics center in the Samara region, leading to the evacuation of over 500 workers. Since July 18, Ukrainian forces have also regularly attacked Wildberries, another major Russian marketplace, resulting in at least 20 significant fires across Russia.

We promptly evacuated all employees, and according to preliminary data, there were no casualties. No fires broke out.
