Drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as fighting escalates across fronts

Ukrainian long-range drones targeted major Russian e-commerce supply centers, igniting blazes at a Wildberries facility near Saint Petersburg and multiple Ozon warehouses, including a hub in Dagestan. Regional Russian officials reported casualties from drone impacts, including five deaths in Moscow Oblast and seven on a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

Simultaneously, a Russian overnight bombardment of Kyiv left nine people dead and over 30 injured. Along the frontlines, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Kharkiv, while Ukrainian troops made incremental counter-advances in southern Donetsk near Velyka Novosilka. Amid the escalating hostilities, neighboring Belarus confirmed the establishment of a new air assault brigade along its southern border with Ukraine.
