Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian commercial hubs as border clashes intensify

Ukrainian drone operations have hit key Russian commercial facilities and border regions, targeting major e-commerce infrastructure. Strikes on warehouses operated by Wildberries and Ozon sparked fires in Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan, causing Ozon shares to drop significantly following logistics disruptions.

Regional authorities in Russia reported civilian casualties from drone impacts. A strike in Moscow Oblast killed five people near a local storage facility, while seven individuals, including three children, died after a drone fell onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

On the ground, Russian forces reported tactical advances near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops progressed toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, an attack on Kyiv left nine people dead and dozens injured, and Belarusian officials announced the formation of a new air assault brigade along the Ukrainian border.
