Ukrainian drone campaign targets Russian commercial hubs as casualties rise across regions

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial infrastructure and logistics sites across multiple regions. Attacks hit a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast and several Ozon e-commerce hubs in southern Russia, including Dagestan, halting operations and causing Ozon's shares to drop by nearly 30 percent. In Moscow Oblast, a drone strike caused a warehouse fire, killing five people and injuring ten. A separate drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai resulted in seven fatalities.

Meanwhile, a Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine civilians and injured more than 30. Along the frontlines, Russian troops recorded a tactical advance near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces made progress near Velyka Novosilka in the south. In addition, Belarus announced it is establishing a new air assault brigade near its border with Ukraine.
