Ukrainian drone attacks target Russian retail warehouses as casualties rise across regions

Cross-border drone strikes and regional combat continue to inflict casualties and disrupt commercial infrastructure across Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian drone strikes targeted facilities belonging to major Russian e-commerce platforms Wildberries and Ozon, causing fires and driving Ozon's shares down nearly 30 percent after six of its hubs were hit.

Russian local authorities reported fatalities from drone strikes, including five deaths in Moscow Oblast and seven on a Krasnodar Krai beach. In Ukraine, a Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33.

Meanwhile, ground combat saw Russian forces make tactical advances near Kharkiv while Ukrainian troops pushed forward toward Uspenivka.
