Ukrainian drones hit a logistics warehouse belonging to Ozon, Russia's second-largest e-commerce platform, in the Samara region overnight into Aug. 22, 2026, igniting a blaze that forced the evacuation of 500 people and caused multiple injuries, the company said. Regional governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev confirmed the strike on the facility in the town of Chapayevsk, marking the first successful attack on an Ozon installation since the war began.
A separate drone attack set fire to a major oil refinery in nearby Novokuibyshevsk, which processes roughly 8.8 million tonnes of crude annually. Both sites lie approximately 900 kilometres from the front line, underscoring Kyiv's expanding long-range strike capability.
The attacks came as representatives of more than 30 nations supporting Ukraine prepared to meet in Kyiv on Aug. 24 for a coalition summit.
