Ukraine targets Russian commercial hubs as border casualties rise

Cross-border drone strikes and frontline engagements have intensified across several regions. Ukrainian drone attacks targeting Russian commercial logistics hit multiple Ozon distribution facilities, driving the retailer's stock down by nearly 30 percent, alongside an attack that ignited a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast.

In Russia's border and coastal regions, local officials reported five deaths in Moscow Oblast and seven fatalities, including three children, after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai. A Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine people and injured over 30.

On the battlefield, Russian troops secured tactical advances in Kharkiv Oblast and Kostiantynivka, while Ukrainian forces progressed near Velyka Novosilka. Belarusian military authorities also announced the creation of a new air assault brigade near the border with Ukraine.
