On the evening of October 24, 2026, Ukraine's Defense Forces struck facilities in the Russian city of Omsk using FP-1 attack drones. The attack resulted in a partial burnout of the OZON marketplace's warehouse complex, while the Omsk Rubber plant was also affected. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement from the Ukrainian company Fire Point, which published satellite and ground imagery of the strike's aftermath.
Fire Point's Statement and Visual Evidence
A statement published on Fire Point's official channels reads: "Following the visit of the FP-1, the OZON warehouse complex in Omsk has begun to look noticeably better, in our opinion." The published imagery shows that a significant portion of the Russian logistics complex has burned out. Satellite data, also provided in the RBC-Ukraine report, confirms the scale of the damage at the warehouse site.
Chronology and Targets of the October 24 Strike
The strike on Omsk was carried out during the evening hours of October 24, 2026. According to RBC-Ukraine, FP-1 drones attacked two targets: the Omsk Rubber plant and the OZON logistics warehouse complex. This is not the first time infrastructure belonging to Russia's largest marketplace has become a target for Ukrainian attack drones—according to the publication, attacks on OZON and Wildberries warehouses have become systemic.
Over 2,500 Kilometers: The Operational Range of FP-1
The distance from the Ukrainian border to Omsk covered by the attack drones exceeds 2,500 kilometers. This figure demonstrates a significant increase in the operational range of FP-1 drones compared to previous strike cycles, when their action radius was limited to substantially smaller values. Omsk is located in Western Siberia, and its inclusion in the range of Ukrainian drones indicates an expansion in the geography of attacks on Russia's rear territory.
Economic Consequences for Russian E-Commerce
Russia's largest marketplaces, Wildberries and Ozon, have faced mass lawsuits from sellers following a series of Ukrainian strikes on warehouse infrastructure. According to an earlier estimate by RBC-Ukraine, due to drone attacks on major marketplace warehouses, the Russian online retail market could lose about 400 million orders and 400 billion rubles in revenue—roughly 4.5 billion dollars. Damage to warehouse logistics directly impacts delivery times, product availability, and the financial stability of sellers operating through these platforms.
Context: The Systematic Nature of Logistics Strikes
The Omsk strike on October 24 fits into a broader series of attacks on Russia's logistical and industrial infrastructure. The selection of marketplace warehouse complexes as targets points to a strategy aimed at impacting the civilian economy and supply chains. The open publication of satellite images and damage photos allows independent observers to verify the actual consequences of the strikes, although official Russian sources generally do not comment on details of incidents at commercial infrastructure facilities.
