Drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce hubs and civilian areas amid front-line clashes

Cross-border attacks between Ukrainian and Russian forces have escalated, with significant drone strikes impacting logistics and civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian drone strikes targeted facilities belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Ozon, causing its shares to fall nearly 30 percent after six facilities were hit in three days, including a logistics hub in Makhachkala. Another strike ignited a fire at a Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg.

In Russia, a drone strike on a Moscow Oblast warehouse killed five people, while seven civilians died after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai. A Russian strike on Kyiv left nine dead and 33 injured. Front-line reports indicate Russian tactical gains near Artelne and Ukrainian advances near Velyka Novosilka, alongside Belarus establishing a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
