Cross-border drone strikes hit Russian supply hubs as casualties rise

Cross-border strikes and frontline clashes have intensified between Ukrainian and Russian forces. Ukrainian drone operations repeatedly targeted major logistics hubs across Russia, striking e-commerce distribution centers operated by Wildberries and Ozon in the Leningrad, Moscow, and Dagestan regions. Ozon's shares dropped nearly 30 percent after six facilities were hit within three days.

Casualties mounted from recent air attacks. A drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai left seven people dead, including three children, while strikes in Moscow Oblast killed five residents and injured ten. Earlier, Russian bombardment in Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and dozens of injuries.

On the front lines, Russian forces claimed tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarusian authorities announced plans to construct a new air assault brigade along the Ukrainian border.
