Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian commercial hubs amid border escalation

Ukrainian drone attacks targeted major Russian commercial infrastructure while aerial strikes caused casualties on both sides of the border.

E-commerce firm Ozon reported strikes across six logistics hubs over three days, sending its stock down nearly 30 percent, while a Wildberries facility caught fire in Leningrad Oblast. Russian regional officials reported five deaths from drone impacts in Moscow Oblast and seven fatalities after a drone hit a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, overnight Russian strikes on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33.

On the frontline, Russian forces achieved a tactical advance near Artelne in the Kharkiv region, while Ukrainian troops pushed toward Uspenivka in Donetsk Oblast. Additionally, Belarus announced the creation of a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
