Drone strikes target Russian logistics as casualties rise across frontlines

Recent drone strikes and frontline combat have escalated casualties and infrastructure damage across Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian drone attacks targeted major Russian logistics hubs, setting fire to a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast and hitting six Ozon e-commerce facilities within three days, driving Ozon's shares down nearly 30 percent.

Aerial attacks also caused severe casualties in multiple regions. In Moscow Oblast, drone strikes killed five people and injured ten. A separate drone crash on a beach near Gelendzhik killed seven people and injured about 40. Meanwhile, a Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine people and wounded 33.

On the front line, Russian forces made tactical advances near Artelne, while Ukrainian troops pushed toward Uspenivka. Additionally, Belarus announced the formation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
