A surge in cross-border strikes has hit e-commerce infrastructure and civilian areas in Russia and Ukraine, alongside frontline movements and regional military deployments.

Mutual bombardments and logistics strikes have escalated across Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian drone attacks repeatedly targeted major Russian e-commerce facilities, including Wildberries warehouses near Saint Petersburg and six Ozon logistics hubs over three days, causing Ozon's shares to drop nearly 30 percent. A drone impact on a beach in Krasnodar Krai killed seven people, including three children, while strikes in Moscow Oblast left five dead at a local warehouse.

Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and 33 injuries. On the frontline, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Velyka Novosilka. Additionally, Belarus announced plans to establish a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
