Kyiv hit by strikes as Ukrainian drones target Russian logistics hubs and coastal regions

Cross-border strikes and intense frontline engagements continue across Ukraine and Russia. In Ukraine, a Russian bombardment targeting Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and 33 injuries. On the ground, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough on the Kharkiv axis near Artelne, while Ukrainian forces maintained advances toward Uspenivka and Velyka Novosilka.

Concurrently, Ukrainian drone strikes hit targets across multiple Russian regions. A drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai killed seven people and injured dozens. Strikes in Moscow Oblast left five dead and ten injured. Kyiv also expanded attacks against major Russian e-commerce logistics, striking facilities belonging to Ozon in southern Russia and Makhachkala, causing a 30 percent drop in Ozon's share price, alongside fires at a Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg. Meanwhile, Belarus reportedly initiated the creation of an air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
