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

A wave of cross-border drone strikes has inflicted severe casualties and targeted Russian logistics hubs. Ukrainian attacks hit facilities belonging to Russian e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon across multiple regions, including Dagestan and Leningrad Oblast. Ozon saw its stock fall nearly 30% after six of its facilities were targeted over three days.

Fatalities from aerial attacks rose across several locations. Ukrainian drone strikes killed five people in Moscow Oblast and seven on a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Conversely, a Russian strike on Kyiv left nine dead and 33 injured. On the ground, Russian forces achieved tactical advances near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian units continued advancing toward Uspenivka. Concurrently, Belarus announced plans to deploy a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
