Attack on the Ozon warehouse in Adygeysk

Drones attacked the Ozon logistics center in Adygeysk, after which a fire broke out on the complex's grounds. All employees were promptly evacuated; according to preliminary information, no one was injured, the marketplace's press service reported on its Telegram channel. Emergency services are working at the scene.

What changes for sellers and buyers

Due to the incident, the company has temporarily restricted the logistics center's operations and suspended accepting shipments from sellers. Goods located at the affected facility will be hidden from the marketplace's storefront, and orders that cannot be fulfilled from other warehouses will be cancelled. Seller shipments already en route to Adygeysk will be redirected to alternative facilities. At the same time, buyers can still place new orders as usual: Ozon will use other logistics complexes to assemble and dispatch them.
