Ukrainian drone strikes across Russia and Russian attacks on Kyiv leave multiple dead, as clashes continue in Kharkiv and Donetsk.

Cross-border strikes and battlefield developments escalated across multiple regions. Ukrainian drone attacks targeting several Russian locations killed at least 12 civilians and damaged infrastructure. In Moscow Oblast, a strike on a warehouse killed five people and injured ten. In Leningrad Oblast, air defenses downed 17 drones near Krasny Bor, where falling debris caused a fire at a Wildberries warehouse for a second night, injuring one person. Additionally, a drone fell on a beach in Krasnodar Krai's Arkhipo-Osipovka, killing seven people, including three children, and injuring around 40.

Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33. On the frontline, Russian troops achieved tactical advances near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces progressed toward Uspenivka. Belarusian forces also established a new air assault brigade along the Ukrainian border.
