Story summary

A Ukrainian drone strike on November 4 set a fire at a logistics hub of Russian e-commerce company Ozon in Adygeysk, southern Russia. This is the second time that Ozon's facility there has been targeted since July, part of Ukraine’s broader campaign to disrupt Russia's economy and military efforts by hitting large warehouses belonging to Ozon and its rival Wildberries. The attack caused damage from debris falling on two nearby villages but resulted in no casualties. Before this incident, Ozon had warned that it expected to lose 30.1 billion roubles ($367 million) due to drone attacks at 11 sites. Russia has responded with similar strikes against Ukrainian commercial targets, intensifying the air war between the sides while ground battles remain relatively unchanged.
