   Ukraine expands drone strikes on Ozon logistics hubs in Russia

   Ukrainian drone attacks on Ozon, Russia's second-largest online retailer, have expanded to Ufa and Orenburg. Ozon reported minor damage to its Ufa logistics complex, which remains closed for inspections. These strikes follow a wave of attacks since August 22 that hit southern facilities in Makhachkala, Enem, Adygeysk, and Nevinnomyssk. While some sites in Adygeya and Stavropol escaped damage, the overall campaign against e-commerce warehouses has caused billions of rubles in potential losses and forced operational halts in several regions.

   Why it matters
