Drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as casualties rise across region

A surge in drone attacks and intense fighting across the region has led to widespread casualties and damage to logistics hubs. Ukrainian drone strikes hit multiple facilities belonging to major Russian e-commerce platforms, including a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast and six Ozon logistics centers over a three-day span, causing Ozon’s share price to tumble nearly 30 percent.

Casualties were reported across several areas. Strikes in Moscow Oblast left five people dead and ten injured, while seven people died and around 40 were wounded when a drone crashed on a beach near Gelendzhik. In Kyiv, an overnight attack killed nine people and injured 33.

On the front line, Russian forces made tactical advances near Artelne, while Ukrainian troops progressed toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced the setup of a new air assault brigade near its southern border with Ukraine.
