Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian drones hit a warehouse, triggering a blast that caused widespread damage across the area.
He did not give specifics on the site, but said an investigation would be opened as “ammunition cannot be stored near homes or other residential areas.”
Russia’s defence ministry said its forces struck an arms depot storing drone-making equipment.
Russia says overnight Ukrainian strikes hit Ozon logistics facility in Rostov region
Moscow said that overnight Ukrainian strikes hit a logistics facility of Russian online retailer Ozon in the southern Rostov region.
Rostov Governor Yuri Slyusar said on Telegram that his region came under attack overnight, and that seven people were injured, with one in critical condition, in Rostov-on-Don, the administrative centre of the southern Russian region.
Slyusar said that two apartment buildings in the regional capital were damaged due to the attack, while drone debris was found on the grounds of warehouse facilities in the region’s Aksaysky district.
Ozon announced that one of its logistics facilities in the Rostov region was attacked by a drone overnight, resulting in a small fire that was immediately extinguished.

“We have temporarily suspended operations at the facility so emergency services can inspect the area and ensure it is completely safe. We are not currently accepting deliveries from vendors here, and those in transit are being redirected to other facilities,” the company said.
It added that employees had been evacuated from a second logistics centre in the region due to the danger of strikes in the area. “The facility is intact, but operations have been suspended for now for safety reasons.”
Ukraine has intensified drone strikes on Russian logistics facilities in a campaign that began in mid-July and has spread across several Russian regions.
