Drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce hubs as casualties rise across region

Ukrainian drone attacks targeted major Russian logistics infrastructure, striking a Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg and six Ozon facilities within three days, causing Ozon shares to drop nearly 30 percent. A separate drone impact on a Krasnodar Krai beach killed seven people and injured around 40, while strikes on a warehouse in Moscow Oblast left five dead and ten injured.

Concurrently, a Russian attack on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33. Frontline developments saw Russian forces gain tactical ground near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops made advances toward Velyka Novosilka. Belarus also revealed plans to set up an air assault brigade along its southern border with Ukraine.
