Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian commercial hubs as frontline clashes continue

Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian e-commerce and regional targets have escalated, hitting six Ozon logistics hubs across three days, including a facility in Dagestan. The attacks contributed to an almost 30 percent decline in Ozon's share value. Additional drone strikes set fire to a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast, killed five people in Moscow Oblast, and left seven dead and around 40 injured after a drone crashed onto a beach near Gelendzhik in Krasnodar Krai.

Concurrently, a Russian bombardment targeting Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and 33 injuries. On the front line, Russian forces achieved tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops continued advancing near Uspenivka. Belarusian authorities also announced the formation of a new air assault brigade near the border with Ukraine.
