Drone attacks target Russian commercial hubs as fatalities rise on both sides

Cross-border drone attacks between Russian and Ukrainian forces have intensified, impacting civilian infrastructure and commercial operations. Ukrainian strikes hit facilities operated by Russian e-commerce giant Ozon, causing a sharp stock decline after six logistics hubs were targeted over three days, including one in Makhachkala. A fire also broke out at a Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg.

Casualties grew across multiple regions. A drone strike in Moscow Oblast killed five people, while a drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai left seven dead. A Russian attack on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and 33 injuries.

On the front lines, Russian forces achieved tactical progress near Artelne, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Velyka Novosilka. Meanwhile, Belarus established a new air assault brigade near its southern border.
