Ukrainian drone attacks and Russian strikes cause casualties across regions

A wave of overnight Ukrainian drone strikes across several Russian regions resulted in multiple fatalities and major fires. In Krasnodar Krai, local authorities reported seven deaths, including three children, and roughly 40 injuries after a drone fell onto a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka. In Moscow Oblast, drone impacts left five people dead and at least 10 wounded. Additionally, intercepted drones sparked a fire at a Wildberries e-commerce logistics facility in Leningrad Oblast's Krasny Bor for a second straight night, injuring one person.

Simultaneously, Russian strikes targeted Kyiv, leaving nine people dead and 33 injured. On the front lines, Russian forces advanced near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops pushed forward toward Uspenivka in Donetsk Oblast. Meanwhile, reports indicate Belarus is establishing a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
