Cross-border strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as civilian casualties rise

Recent cross-border strikes between Ukraine and Russia have escalated, causing civilian casualties and hitting key commercial infrastructure. Ukrainian drone raids targeted logistics hubs of Russian e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon, causing warehouse fires near St. Petersburg and in Dagestan. The repeated strikes sent Ozon's shares down nearly 30 percent.

Fatalities were recorded in several regions. Drone impacts in Moscow Oblast killed five people at a local warehouse, while a strike on a Black Sea beach in Krasnodar Krai resulted in seven deaths. In Kyiv, a Russian missile barrage killed nine people and injured 33. On the front line, Russian troops achieved a tactical breach near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces progressed near Velyka Novosilka. Additionally, Belarus announced plans for a new air assault brigade along its southern border.
