Ukrainian drone strikes cause casualties and warehouse fires across Russian regions

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted several Russian regions, killing at least 12 people and damaging commercial infrastructure. In Moscow Oblast, regional authorities confirmed five fatalities and ten injuries following impacts on local facilities. A separate drone crash on a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka, Krasnodar Krai, resulted in seven deaths—including three children—and nearly 40 injuries, according to regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev.

Further north in Leningrad Oblast, air defenses downed 17 unmanned aerial vehicles, though falling debris ignited a blaze at a Wildberries e-commerce warehouse for a second consecutive night. Along the frontline, Russian troops made tactical advances near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian units continued pushing toward Velyka Novosilka.
