Frontline clashes escalate as drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs

Ukrainian forces expanded deep drone strikes into Russian territory, targeting major e-commerce logistics centers. Attacks ignited a Wildberries facility near Saint Petersburg and hit six Ozon hubs across southern Russia over three days, sending Ozon's shares down nearly 30 percent.

Cross-border civilian casualties escalated sharply. A Russian attack on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33. Russian officials reported five fatalities from Ukrainian drone strikes in Moscow Oblast, while seven people died after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

Along the front line, Russian troops made a tactical advance near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast. Ukrainian forces maintained counterattacks near Velyka Novosilka, while neighboring Belarus announced a new air assault brigade near the border.
