Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian commercial hubs and border regions as cross-border air attacks and frontline fighting resulted in growing civilian casualties.

Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted multiple commercial facilities across Russia, igniting fires at a Wildberries facility in Leningrad Oblast and damaging several Ozon logistics hubs, including a site in Dagestan. The repeated disruptions triggered a steep decline in Ozon shares, which dropped by nearly 30 percent. Russian regional authorities reported civilian casualties, including five fatalities in Moscow Oblast and seven deaths following a drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

Meanwhile, Russian strikes on Kyiv left nine people dead and 33 injured. Along the front lines, Russian forces claimed tactical advances near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops maintained progress near Velyka Novosilka. In Belarus, officials announced plans to establish a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
