Russia's Ozon warns of potential risks amid drone attacks on rival Wildberries

MOSCOW, July 30 (Reuters) - Russia's second largest e-commerce company Ozon warned on Thursday about potential risks of damage to its infrastructure amid continuing Ukrainian drone attacks on warehouses owned by its main rival Wildberries.

"Among the operational risks monitored on a regular basis is the risk of possible damage to infrastructure components as a result of external impacts," Ozon said in a statement.

Ozon, which is listed on the Moscow Exchange unlike privately owned Wildberries, published its second-quarter results on Thursday, saying that revenue rose 47% year on year to 334.2 billion roubles ($4.18 billion).

Ukrainian drones hit two more Wildberries warehouses in Penza and Udmurtia regions on Thursday. The company said both warehouses were set ablaze, staff were evacuated and one person was wounded.

Previous drone attacks have damaged at least seven Wildberries warehouses this month, destroying around 10% of the company's storage capacity, disrupting operations and causing losses for tens of thousands of small businesses that sell goods and services through the platform.
