Quote from the Defence Ministry: "The defence forces scored an opening goal by destroying logistics hubs belonging to the Russian company Ozon.

Systematic strikes on centres storing dual-use goods complicate the enemy's logistics and have a negative impact on Russia's economy as a whole.

After Ukrainian units struck the 15 largest Wildberries logistics hubs, it was Ozon's turn."

Details: Ozon has confirmed that its logistics centre in Samara Oblast has been attacked by UAVs.

Background: On the night of 21-22 August, Ukraine's defence forces successfully struck an Ozon logistics hub in Chapayevsk, Samara Oblast, for the first time, causing a major fire.
