Cross-border aerial strikes cause casualties and disrupt Russian logistics

Cross-border drone strikes and missile attacks hit commercial hubs and civilian areas, causing casualties in Kyiv, Moscow Oblast, and Krasnodar Krai.
Overnight aerial bombardments and drone strikes have escalated across the region, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to major commercial supply chains. Ukrainian drone strikes hit multiple logistics hubs across Russia, targeting facilities belonging to major e-commerce platforms Wildberries in Leningrad Oblast and Ozon in Dagestan. Russian officials reported fires and operational disruptions, while Ozon saw its stock market valuation drop nearly 30 percent.
Cross-border attacks also left multiple casualties. Russian regional governors reported five deaths from drone impacts in Moscow Oblast and seven fatalities after a drone hit a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, a Russian missile strike on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33. On the ground, Russian forces achieved tactical progress near Artelne in the Kharkiv region, while Ukrainian troops pushed toward Uspenivka in Donetsk Oblast.
