Drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as regional casualties rise

Cross-border drone warfare has intensified, causing significant casualties and targeting major Russian commercial infrastructure. A series of Ukrainian drone strikes damaged multiple logistics hubs belonging to Russian online retailer Ozon across three days, causing company shares to drop by nearly 30 percent. A separate strike ignited a fire at a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast.

In Russia, local authorities reported five deaths from drone impacts in Moscow Oblast and seven fatalities after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai. These attacks follow a Russian strike on Kyiv that killed nine people and injured over 30.

On the battlefield, Russian troops secured tactical advances near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast and inside Kostiantynivka, while Ukrainian forces maintained forward momentum near Velyka Novosilka.
