Oil-site fires reported; Ozon confirms warehouse restrictions
St Petersburg governor Alexander Beglov reported one death and five injuries after an overnight drone attack on October 18, with fires reported at oil facilities and warehouses. Ozon separately confirmed a logistics-centre fire and restricted warehouse operations, reporting no injuries there. VK confirmed an attack on a data centre in the surrounding region and said its services remained available, although DW reported increased user complaints. The accounts document different operational effects: Ozon acknowledged restrictions, while VK maintained that services were operating normally. Neither report quantifies disruption to oil exports.
