Cross-border strikes escalate between Russia and Ukraine

Russian ballistic missiles and drones hit targets across Ukraine, including Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv, causing multiple civilian casualties. Ukrainian officials reported at least 17 deaths in the Kyiv region, five in Zaporizhzhia, and two in Kharkiv.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted facilities inside Russia, including warehouses operated by e-commerce company Wildberries in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. A strike on a Moscow warehouse killed at least five people, while an attack in the Belgorod region killed three.

Along the frontline, soldiers described an unpredictable grey zone dominated by constant drone surveillance where open movement frequently leads to lethal attack.
