The company stated that all employees had been evacuated.

Ozon's press service also said that the company will remove products stored at the attacked facility in Adygeysk from its marketplace listings.

Background:

  • In late October, it was reported that Russian online retailer Ozon had estimated its losses from drone attacks on its warehouses in the third quarter to be 30.1 billion roubles (about US$368.53 million).
  • In addition, amid large-scale strikes on major warehouse facilities in Russia, which have caused billions of roubles in losses for the country's biggest online marketplaces, Russian insurers have sharply increased insurance premiums.
  • In August, following a wave of attacks on Ozon warehouses, the company's shares on the Moscow Exchange fell by 12.7% to 2,600 roubles (about US$31).
