Attack drones targeted major warehouse complexes belonging to Russian retailers DNS and Ozon in the Rostov region on August 29.
Video published by the Exilenova+ outlet showed a large fire at the DNS facility in Aksai, which functions as a primary regional distribution hub for southern Russia, as reported by Militarnyi.

A separate strike on an Ozon warehouse complex caused a minor fire that was localized, though operations at the site were temporarily suspended.
The company ranks fourth in Russian online sales, behind major platforms Wildberries, Ozon, and Yandex Market.
Following the withdrawal of international technology corporations like Apple, Samsung, Intel, and Asus during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, DNS became a primary channel for supplying gray-market and parallel-import goods from China into the Russian market.
On August 24, 2026, Ukrainian strike drones targeted three major Ozon logistics centers across southern Russia, igniting large fires at facilities with a combined warehouse area of over 314,000 square meters.
The strikes formed part of a broader overnight operation in which Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces engaged 66 Russian military targets deep behind enemy lines, including a MiG-29 fighter jet in the Rostov region, four radar systems, and two shadow fleet vessels in the Black Sea.
Among the targeted marketplace hubs were large distribution centers in Dagestan, Stavropol, and Adygea, which serve as critical nodes in Russia's e-commerce supply network.
