Cross-border strikes hit Russian e-commerce hubs and cause casualties

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted major Russian e-commerce hubs while cross-border attacks left multiple casualties in Kyiv, Moscow Oblast, and Krasnodar Krai.
Ukrainian drone strikes continue to target major Russian commercial logistics hubs and regional infrastructure, while cross-border attacks cause significant casualties. Ukrainian operations hit facilities belonging to Russian e-commerce company Ozon across southern Russia, including a logistics hub in Makhachkala, Dagestan, causing its shares to fall nearly 30 percent. A separate drone strike ignited a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast's Krasny Bor.
Casualties were reported across multiple Russian regions following drone impacts. In Moscow Oblast, regional officials reported five deaths and ten injuries after a warehouse facility caught fire. A separate drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai's Arkhipo-Osipovka killed seven people, including three children, and injured dozens more. Meanwhile, an overnight Russian strike on Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and 33 injuries. On the front line, Russian forces registered tactical progress in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced near Velyka Novosilka.
