Ukrainian drones strike multiple Russian regions, hitting Ozon warehouse and residential building. Casualties reported.
Ukrainian drones hit an Ozon logistics center in Saratov, sparking a fire.
Employees were evacuated and, according to preliminary information, no one was hurt, the company said. Orders are not currently being accepted at the facility and are being redirected to other logistics centers.
Saratov Governor Roman Busargin said the drone attack damaged civilian infrastructure in the city but gave no further details.
Ukrainian monitoring channels claimed the Saratov oil refinery was also hit and that a fire broke out there.
Drones also struck Volgograd, damaging a multi-unit apartment building on Geroev Maloy Zemli Street in the city’s Krasnoarmeysky district, Governor Andrei Bocharov said. Two men, 42 and 55, were injured and hospitalized. According to Bocharov, “drone debris” fell on the grounds of an industrial facility in southern Volgograd, though he did not specify which one.
The Tula region was also attacked, killing two people and injuring three others, according to Governor Dmitry Milyaev, who did not provide further details.

Drone debris
Russian propaganda frequently uses the phrase “drone debris” to minimize the scale of an attack and showcase the effectiveness of its air defenses. Ukraine has since adopted the same tactic. Fragments of drones and missiles sometimes do fall to the ground, but wartime reporting makes it difficult to quickly confirm or refute such claims. Treat reports of “drone debris” with caution.
