**Deck**: Explosions have been reported at the Phoenix data center in occupied Donetsk after drone reconnaissance and at an Ozon site in Russia’s Adygea region, according to battlefield media, pointing to growing focus on digital and logistics infrastructure away from the front.

Fresh strikes have been reported against infrastructure deep from the front lines, with footage showing damage at the Phoenix data center in Donetsk and a fire at an Ozon facility in Russia’s Adygea region.

On 4 November, battlefield channels shared images of the Phoenix site in occupied Donetsk after what they described as a drone inspection followed by an attack. Separate clips showed a major Ozon complex in Adygea on fire.

Independent details on the weapons used and the full extent of the damage remain limited, but the types of targets involved are notable. Phoenix provides telecom services in Russian‑occupied Donetsk, supporting phone and data communications used by civilians, local authorities and military structures.

Ozon is a large Russian e‑commerce platform whose logistics hubs handle consumer goods and can also move items with military relevance.

Damage to a data center in Donetsk can disrupt calls, internet access and digital services that residents and local services depend on. A hit on an Ozon hub can delay deliveries across parts of Russia and serves as a visible sign that sites far from the frontline are not fully insulated from the conflict.

These locations sit at the intersection of civilian life and military support. They help enable administration, information flows and supply chains in territories under Russian control or inside Russia itself.

Russian authorities may now face pressure to harden similar facilities, disperse functions and adjust logistics patterns, potentially at significant cost.

Further confirmation from Russian or occupation officials, evidence of telecom outages in Donetsk and any rerouting of Ozon’s operations will show whether these incidents are isolated or part of a broader shift toward targeting rear‑area communications and commercial hubs.
