Ukraine targets Russian commercial hubs as cross-border strikes intensify

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial infrastructure and logistics networks, with four additional Ozon facilities hit, driving the online retailer's shares down by nearly 30 percent. A separate drone attack ignited a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast.

Casualties from recent aerial bombardment continue to mount across several regions. Attacks in Moscow Oblast left five dead and ten injured, while a drone crash on a Krasnodar Krai beach killed seven people, including three children. In Ukraine, a Russian strike on Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and over 30 injuries.

On the battlefield, Russian troops secured tactical advances near Kharkiv and Kostiantynivka, while Ukrainian forces progressed toward Velyka Novosilka. Concurrently, Belarusian military authorities announced the formation of a new air assault brigade along the Ukrainian border.
