A satellite image has confirmed a large-scale fire at the Ozon marketplace's distribution center in the settlement of Tyube near Makhachkala (Dagestan). This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a Radio Svoboda post on Telegram, which published the first space photograph of the facility. According to the outlet, by the time of the 11:19 a.m. (local time) capture, a significant portion of the warehouse had already burned out completely.
What the satellite images showed
The object captured in the image is one of Ozon's largest logistics centers, with a total area of more than 130,000 square meters. According to the published data, the complex was built in 2025 as part of the "North–South" transport corridor linking Russia with India, Iran, and other countries. The satellite image shows a column of thick black smoke and patches of open flame above the building's roof, indicating that a substantial part of the premises had burned out by the time of the capture.
Context of the night strikes on logistics
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck several major Ozon logistics centers on Russian territory in the night of August 24. Following the hit on the Tyube complex, a large-scale fire broke out at the facility. In total, according to the outlet, the marketplace's logistics capacity of more than 315,000 square meters was struck in a single night. It was separately reported that Krasnodar was also hit by a massive drone attack in the night of August 24, where one of the warehouses caught fire.
Contradictory data
Sources disagree on the exact number of facilities hit. RBC-Ukraine and the outlet hvylya.net point to three major Ozon logistics centers struck overnight, while rus.delfi.lv reports an attack on four of the marketplace's warehouses. The discrepancy is likely due to the fact that some tallies include only the main Tyube complex and two other centers, while others additionally include the Krasnodar warehouse that caught fire during the same night attack. The exact number of confirmed hit facilities remains unconfirmed across sources at the time of publication.
Concealing warehouse addresses
In addition, according to available data, Ozon removed the addresses of 56 of its warehouses in Russia from its public directory. This happened at least 20 days before the first Ukrainian strikes on the company's logistics centers, indicating a preemptive change to public information about the locations of the facilities.
