Drone strikes target Russian e-commerce hubs as casualties rise across regions

Drone strikes hit major Russian logistics centers, including Wildberries and Ozon facilities, as civilian casualties were reported in Kyiv, Moscow Oblast, and Krasnodar Krai.
Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted key Russian commercial logistics hubs, causing fires at major facilities and impacting e-commerce platforms. Attacks hit warehouses belonging to Wildberries in Leningrad Oblast and Ozon in Dagestan and southern Russia, sending Ozon shares down nearly 30 percent.
Casualties mounted across multiple regions. Ukrainian strikes in Moscow Oblast left five people dead, while a fallen drone on a beach near Gelendzhik killed seven. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33.
Along the frontline, Russian forces achieved tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Uspenivka. Additionally, Belarusian authorities confirmed the creation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
