In a significant escalation of the ongoing cyber conflict between Ukraine and Russia, warehouses belonging to the second-largest online retailer in Russia, Ozon, have been hit by a series of drone strikes. These attacks occurred overnight on Monday, with fires reported at logistics centers in Krasnodar, Dagestan, Stavropol, Adygea, and Makhachkala in the southern regions of Russia. The strikes resulted in injuries to several individuals and, according to Russia's defence ministry, the death of three children in Krasnodar. Ozon has confirmed that its logistics center in Makhachkala, Dagestan, was targeted in a drone attack around 05:00 local time on Monday. The company also reported a major fire at one of its facilities in Krasnodar earlier in the day. Ukraine has been targeting economic infrastructure in Russia, including online retailers, as legitimate targets due to their alleged supply of components to the military. This assertion is denied by Moscow. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would retaliate against Kyiv's "most sensitive economic sectors." These attacks on Ozon follow a similar strike on the company's site in the Samara region the previous day, which resulted in injuries to some of its workers. Founded in 1998, Ozon is one of Russia's first online retailers and is second only to Wildberries in scale and presence. The targeting of these online retailers has brought the war closer to ordinary Russians, affecting their access to essential goods such as clothes and household appliances. Unlike Amazon, which sells goods directly alongside its marketplace business, Ozon and Wildberries act primarily as marketplaces, connecting independent sellers with buyers across Russia, storing and delivering their goods, and handling payments. This means many of the losses incurred in the attacks have been borne by these independent businesses. The Kremlin has denied that online platforms are used for army supplies. The overnight strikes on Ozon's warehouses mark a significant intensification of the cyber warfare between Ukraine and Russia, with potential far-reaching implications for both economies and civilian populations.
