Cross-border strikes escalate as Ukrainian drones target Russian logistics hubs

Cross-border strikes between Russia and Ukraine have intensified, causing casualties and severe commercial disruptions. Ukrainian drone attacks struck major facilities belonging to Russian e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon across Leningrad Oblast, Moscow Oblast, and Dagestan. The strikes sparked fires at distribution centers, forced operational halts, and caused Ozon's stock to drop nearly 30 percent.

Fatalities were reported across multiple regions. In Krasnodar Krai, a drone crash on a beach killed seven people, including three children. Drone strikes in Moscow Oblast left five dead and ten injured, while a Russian attack on Kyiv killed nine residents and injured over 30 others.

On the front lines, Russian forces made tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops pushed toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced the creation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
