Drone strike on Ozon logistics hub in St. Petersburg sparks large fire
Drones attacked an Ozon logistics hub in St. Petersburg, Russia, overnight on October 18, causing a large fire, according to the Telegram channel Exilenova+. The company confirmed the strike and said no one was injured. The attacked hub covers approximately 51,500 square meters and is a key part of Ozon's logistics infrastructure for storing, sorting, and shipping goods to pickup points and customers. The incident occurred amid a broader drone assault on the Leningrad region and Moscow that night. This follows previous Ukrainian drone strikes on Ozon facilities in August, including major hubs in the Samara and Orenburg regions. Ukraine's Defense Ministry has stated that after hitting 15 largest Wildberries hubs, Ozon was next in line.
