Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian commercial sites as casualties rise on both sides

Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian commercial infrastructure have expanded to target e-commerce operator Ozon, causing a sharp drop in its stock value after attacks on multiple logistics centers, including in Dagestan and Leningrad Oblast. The strikes follow recent damage to competitor Wildberries.

Casualties mounted across several regions. A drone strike on a Moscow Oblast warehouse left five people dead and ten injured. In Krasnodar Krai, seven people died and approximately 40 were injured when a drone fell on a beach near Gelendzhik. Concurrently, Russian attacks on Kyiv killed nine people and wounded 33.

On the battlefield, Russian troops secured tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces advanced toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarus formed a new air assault brigade along its southern border with Ukraine.
