Drone strikes hit Russian logistics sites as fighting intensifies

Escalating cross-border strikes and intense ground combat continue across Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian drone attacks targeting Russian e-commerce logistics centers hit several Ozon and Wildberries facilities in Leningrad Oblast, Moscow Oblast, and Dagestan. The attacks disrupted supply networks and triggered a nearly 30 percent drop in Ozon's stock price.

Casualties mounted in multiple Russian regions. Drone impacts in Moscow Oblast left five dead and ten injured, while a separate drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai resulted in seven fatalities. In Ukraine, a Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine residents and injured dozens.

Ground operations saw Russian forces achieve a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops pressed forward toward Velyka Novosilka. Additionally, Belarus confirmed plans to establish a new air assault brigade along its southern border.
