Ukrainian drones hit Ozon warehouse in Russia Aug. 22

Ukrainian drones struck a major warehouse belonging to Russia's second-largest online retailer, Ozon, in an overnight attack on August 22, 2026, marking the first confirmed strike on the company's logistics infrastructure and expanding a campaign targeting Russia's e-commerce sector. The attack, which also hit an oil refinery, injured people and prompted the evacuation of hundreds of workers, according to company and regional officials.

The manufacturer, Fire Point, stated that Ukrainian FP1 drones targeted the Ozon fulfillment center in the town of Chapayevsk, Samara Oblast, overnight. The company described the facility as one of Ozon's largest in the Volga region, storing goods and processing over 215,000 orders daily. Ozon confirmed work at the logistics center was halted and that the strike caused injuries, forcing the evacuation of more than 500 employees. The company suspended operations indefinitely and halted seller deliveries, redirecting shipments to other facilities. Several people received medical treatment, Samara Oblast Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev reported, though neither he nor Ozon specified the exact number of casualties.
