Kyiv strike kills nine as Ukrainian drones target Russian logistics

Cross-border strikes and front-line clashes have escalated. A Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33, while Ukrainian drone attacks targeted Russian logistics, hitting a Wildberries facility near Saint Petersburg and multiple Ozon warehouses in Dagestan and southern Russia. Following six facility attacks over three days, Ozon shares dropped nearly 30 percent.

In Moscow Oblast, drone strikes killed five people and injured ten. A separate drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai resulted in seven fatalities and dozens of injuries.

On the front lines, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in the Kharkiv region, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Uspenivka in the southern Donetsk region. Meanwhile, Belarus reportedly initiated the formation of a new air assault brigade near its border with Ukraine.
