Overnight a large drone strike hit multiple sites across Russia, including logistics hubs belonging to the online retailer Ozon.
In Krasnodar, debris from a downed drone struck a private children’s centre, killing two children and injuring nine others, seven of them children, the regional governor Veniyamin Kondratyev said. Fragments also fell on apartment blocks and construction sites, and fires broke out in several locations.

Impact and reports
A blaze was reported at a large Ozon distribution centre in Nevinnomyssk, and local authorities said the industrial zone there had been attacked with drones. The strikes struck multiple facilities linked to logistics and industry.
There were unconfirmed reports that an Ozon facility in Dagestan was hit, and pro‑Ukrainian sources claimed that a radar installation on occupied Crimea had been attacked. No immediate, independently verified claim of responsibility or official explanation has been published.
Authorities in the affected regions said emergency services are working at the scenes and investigations were underway into the origins and consequences of the strikes.
