Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce facilities while Russian attacks killed nine in Kyiv and frontline clashes continued across several sectors.

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted key Russian infrastructure, damaging major e-commerce logistics centers belonging to Wildberries and Ozon across multiple regions, including Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan. Ozon's stock dropped nearly 30% after strikes hit six of its facilities over three days.

Concurrently, Russian officials reported civilian casualties from Ukrainian drone activity. In Moscow Oblast, attacks left five people dead, while seven fatalities occurred after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

In Ukraine, a Russian attack on Kyiv killed nine people and injured over 30 others. Russian forces also secured tactical gains near Kharkiv and in the Donetsk region, while Belarus initiated the creation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
