Ukrainian drone campaign strikes Russian commercial hubs as frontline clashes persist

Ukrainian drone strikes have continued to hit Russian commercial infrastructure and border regions, severely disrupting logistics networks and causing casualties. Major e-commerce platforms faced repeated hits; strikes damaged a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast and targeted six Ozon facilities over three days, including a logistics hub in Makhachkala, Dagestan, causing Ozon shares to plunge nearly 30 percent.

Casualties inside Russia mounted following drone crashes in Moscow Oblast, where five people died, and a beach impact in Krasnodar Krai, where seven people, including three children, were killed. Meanwhile, heavy ground fighting continues along the frontline, with Russian forces gaining tactical ground in Kharkiv Oblast while Ukrainian units advanced near Uspenovka in southern Donetsk.
