Cross-border strikes escalate as Ukrainian drones hit Russian warehouses and Moscow claims front line gains

Cross-border strikes and intense military activity continued as Ukrainian drone attacks targeted major Russian commercial infrastructure and Russian forces reported tactical advances. Ukrainian strikes damaged Wildberries and Ozon logistics facilities across several Russian regions, including Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan, causing Ozon's shares to drop nearly 30%.

Concurrently, Russian authorities reported civilian casualties from drone activity, including five fatalities in Moscow Oblast and seven on a Krasnodar Krai beach. In Ukraine, a Russian attack on Kyiv left nine people dead and dozens injured. On the front lines, Russian troops made tactical breakthroughs in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, while Belarus began establishing a new air assault brigade near its southern border.
