Cross-border drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as frontline fighting escalates

Cross-border drone strikes and military clashes have intensified between Ukrainian and Russian forces. Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles targeted major Russian commercial infrastructure, triggering fires at Wildberries facilities in Leningrad and Moscow Oblasts and striking multiple Ozon hubs, including a major site in Dagestan. Drone strikes in the Moscow region left at least five people dead and ten injured, while seven people, including three children, died when a drone fell on a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

Concurrently, a Russian strike on Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and dozens of injuries. On the battlefield, Russian troops secured tactical advances in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian units recorded progress in southern Donetsk. Amid the escalating conflict, Belarus announced plans to deploy a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
