"The Ozon logistics center in Adyghesk, Russia, was attacked by drones. (...) As a result of the drone attack, a fire broke out. The company announced that all employees had been evacuated," the portal wrote.

Russia reports hundreds of downed drones

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, air defense systems were supposed to "intercept and destroy 709 Ukrainian drones."

According to a message published on Telegram, drones operated over 15 Russian oblasts, as well as the Black and Azov Seas.

Losses and insurance costs are increasing

As "Ukrainska Pravda" recalled, at the end of October, information appeared that Ozon's losses after drone attacks on its warehouses reached 30.1 billion rubles, or approximately PLN 1.4 billion, in the third quarter. The independent website Radio Svoboda reported that the warehouse in Adygheisk was the twelfth Ozon logistics center attacked.

A series of attacks on large Russian logistics facilities was also expected to translate into an increase in insurance prices. Russian insurers have increased policy rates following multi-billion losses suffered by the largest trading platforms. Radio Swoboda indicated that Ozon was to stop insuring goods against mass damage from October 13, including those resulting from drone attacks. The relevant announcement indicated that "the terms of protection for specific risks have changed significantly on the insurance market."
