Cross-border drone strikes target Russian logistics hubs as front-line fighting intensifies

Ukrainian drone strikes have increasingly targeted Russian commercial infrastructure, striking Wildberries facilities and at least six Ozon logistics hubs over three days. A strike on an Ozon facility in Makhachkala, Dagestan, temporarily halted operations, contributing to a nearly 30 percent drop in the company's stock. Regional officials in Russia reported further civilian casualties from drone impacts, including five fatalities in Moscow Oblast and seven on a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

Simultaneously, front-line engagements intensified. Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced near Uspenivka. A Russian strike on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and 33 injuries. Near the border, Belarus initiated the deployment of a new air assault brigade.
