Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing a mounting wall of crises at home and abroad as a relentless wave of Ukrainian drone strikes inflicts heavy damage on his country’s critical economic infrastructure.
Four logistics hubs owned by Russia’s second-largest online retailer, Ozon, were targeted in strikes across southern Russia overnight into Monday, bringing the total number of hit facilities to six since Saturday, according to the Kyiv Post.
Ozon confirmed a fire erupted at its Makhachkala facility in the Dagestan Republic, injuring several people and forcing the hub to halt operations completely. Workers at warehouses in Adygeysk and Nevinnomyssk were forced to evacuate, while a large fire broke out at its facility in Enem in the Krasnodar region. Ozon said its facilities in Adygeya and Stavropol escaped damage.
