**Deck**: Ukrainian attack drones struck a DNS warehouse complex in Rostov-on-Don early Saturday, setting it on fire, and reportedly targeted an Ozon facility amid a wider wave of explosions and air defense activity across the city.

A warehouse complex of the electronics retailer DNS in Rostov-on-Don caught fire early on 29 August after being hit by Ukrainian attack drones during a large-scale strike on the Russian city. An Ozon warehouse in Rostov-on-Don was also reportedly targeted in the same wave of attacks.

Initial reports from the city described a broad drone assault that triggered intense Russian air defense activity and multiple explosions across Rostov-on-Don. One confirmed impact was on the DNS warehouse facility, which was set ablaze after being struck. Local reporting indicated that an Ozon warehouse site in the city was likewise attacked, though it did not catch fire in the same way.

The strikes formed part of a wider pattern of Ukrainian long-range drone operations reaching deep into Russian territory. In this case, the attacks hit major commercial warehouse facilities in a large urban center, underscoring that sites associated with consumer electronics and e‑commerce are now among the locations coming under fire.

The extent of damage to the DNS and Ozon warehouses, and any follow‑on measures by Russian authorities to protect similar facilities in Rostov-on-Don and other cities, will help indicate how this latest attack shapes the risks for large commercial logistics hubs inside Russia.
