Two children were killed and nine people injured when fragments of a downed drone fell on a private children's center in the Prikubansky district of Krasnodar, Mayor Yevgeny Naumov said on Monday. Two adults and seven children were hospitalized, he said. Regional Governor Veniamin Kondratyev added that drone debris also struck residential buildings and a multi-story building under construction.
Ozon said in its Telegram channel that its logistics center in Krasnodar had been attacked by drones, with employees evacuated and no casualties reported among them. The warehouse's operations have been halted, online orders from the center are temporarily unavailable, and seller deliveries are not being accepted.
Air raid sirens sounded in Krasnodar at least three times overnight, and a column of black smoke was visible after explosions, the Telegram channel Ostorozhno, Novosti reported.
Another large Ozon warehouse was burning in Nevinnomyssk in the Stavropol region. The building covers 93,514 square meters, according to OSINT analysis by the Astra outlet. Governor Vladimir Vladimirov said air defense forces were repelling a drone attack targeting the city's industrial zone, and residents reported explosions.
In recent days, drone strikes have hit Ozon warehouses in Chapayevsk in the Samara region and in Orenburg. According to calculations by Agentstvo, the damage from those two attacks amounted to at least 2 percent of the company's total warehouse space. Since July 18, Ukrainian drones have also struck logistics warehouses operated by Wildberries.
In late June, Ozon amended its user agreement to add military actions, missile attacks and drone strikes to its list of force majeure circumstances. The marketplace also more than tripled the cost of insurance for sellers' goods and, starting August 1, automatically included coverage for damage from drone attacks. Addresses of 56 Ozon warehouses in Russia were removed from the company's public logistics section.
