Ukrainian drones struck Ozon logistics facilities in Orenburg and Ufa overnight on August 27, the company’s press service said.
Ozon evacuated employees at both sites, and preliminary reports indicate no injuries.
According to Ozon, the Orenburg warehouse has resumed operations, while the Ufa site sustained “minor damage” and remains closed because, the company said, “the site needs to be thoroughly inspected.” Ozon is not currently accepting deliveries to Ufa.
Orenburg Governor Yevgeny Solntsev acknowledged a drone threat in the region but did not disclose the aftermath of the attack.
Authorities in Bashkortostan have not commented on the attack.
