Cross-border strikes intensify as Ukraine targets Russian e-commerce hubs and frontline fighting continues

Cross-border attacks between Russia and Ukraine have escalated significantly, resulting in civilian casualties and major disruptions to Russian commercial infrastructure. Russian strikes on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33. In response and ongoing operations, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted several Russian regions. Five people died in Moscow Oblast, while seven were killed on a beach in Krasnodar Krai's Archipo-Osipovka.

Ukrainian forces also intensified strikes on Russian e-commerce hubs, targeting facilities belonging to Wildberries near Saint Petersburg and Ozon across southern Russia, including Dagestan. Ozon shares fell by nearly 30 percent following repeated disruptions to its logistics network.

On the ground, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continued advancing near Velyka Novosilka. In Belarus, military authorities announced the establishment of a new air assault brigade near the southern border with Ukraine.
