Drone attacks hit Russian logistics and coastal sites as cross-border strikes escalate

Cross-border strikes between Ukraine and Russia have escalated, causing civilian casualties and damaging key commercial infrastructure. Ukrainian drone raids targeted logistics hubs belonging to Russian e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon, resulting in warehouse fires near St. Petersburg and in Dagestan. The repeated attacks contributed to a nearly 30 percent decline in Ozon's shares.

Fatalities were reported across several regions. A drone strike in Moscow Oblast killed five people at a warehouse, while an impact 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 forces achieved a tactical breach near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops progressed near Velyka Novosilka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced plans to create a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
