Ozon has estimated that drone attacks on its logistics facilities caused 30.1 billion rubles in losses, according to figures reported from the Russian online marketplace’s financial statements. The estimate covers damage to goods held for sale, the disposal and impairment of equipment, and other related losses and expenses.
The company said 11 of its warehouses have come under attack since August. Ozon did not identify the facilities in the material reported by Radio Liberty and Ukrinform, or provide a separate breakdown showing how much of the total related to inventory, equipment or other costs.
Losses and insurance status
Some risks involving goods and other assets at the affected facilities were insured, Ozon said. The marketplace is negotiating potential compensation with insurance companies, although the reported financial disclosures indicated that any payments could be substantially below the losses recorded.
“Conditions for covering certain risks in the insurance market have changed significantly,” Ozon said in explaining the end of the seller insurance program.
The program, provided to Ozon sellers by Ingosstrakh, stopped covering goods against large-scale damage, including damage caused by drone attacks, effective October 13. The change leaves a distinction between losses already incurred at affected warehouses and the insurance arrangements available to sellers for future incidents.
| Item | Reported figure or status |
|---|---|
| Estimated losses from attacks | 30.1 billion rubles |
| Warehouses affected since August | 11 |
| Seller insurance change | Coverage discontinued October 13 |
| Net profit, July–September | 3.7 billion rubles |
Business results alongside the damage
Ozon also reported net profit of 3.7 billion rubles for the July–September period, up 25% from the same period in 2025, according to the report. The profit figure and the warehouse-loss estimate describe different parts of the company’s position: one reflects quarterly earnings, while the other captures the reported impact of attacks and associated asset losses.
The disclosures underscore the exposure of large e-commerce networks to drone-related disruption beyond the direct physical damage to aircraft or facilities. For Ozon sellers, the October insurance decision changes how goods stored in the company’s warehouses may be covered against large-scale damage. Ozon has also offered sellers the option of storing goods at warehouses in Almaty and Astana, Kazakhstan.
- Ozon estimates 30.1 billion rubles in losses connected to attacks on logistics facilities.
