Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian commercial hubs and border regions

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial infrastructure and border regions, damaging facilities belonging to major e-commerce platforms Ozon and Wildberries. Ozon shares fell almost 30% after six logistics hubs were hit over three days, including a site in Dagestan. In Leningrad Oblast, a Wildberries warehouse caught fire following an attack involving 17 intercepted drones.

Regional Russian officials reported civilian casualties, including five deaths in Moscow Oblast and seven fatalities after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

Meanwhile, Russian strikes on Kyiv killed nine people and injured at least 33. On the front line, Russian troops made tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces continued offensive operations near Velyka Novosilka. Additionally, Belarus announced the creation of a new assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
