Cross-border attacks hit Russian logistics and civilian areas as casualties rise

Ukrainian drone attacks targeted major Russian e-commerce logistics centers, setting fire to a Wildberries warehouse near St. Petersburg and multiple Ozon facilities, including a hub in Dagestan. Following six targeted facilities in three days, Ozon stock fell by nearly 30 percent.

Casualties mounted on both sides. A Russian strike on Kyiv left nine people dead and 33 injured. In Russia, drone impacts killed five people in Moscow Oblast and seven individuals on a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

On the front line, Russian forces made tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced in southern Donetsk Oblast. Meanwhile, Belarus announced plans to form a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
