Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian e-commerce warehouses and border regions, causing casualties and stock drops, while frontline combat intensified.

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial infrastructure and border regions, causing casualties and financial disruptions. In southern Russia, attacks hit multiple logistics hubs belonging to e-commerce retailer Ozon, including a facility in Dagestan, driving the company's stock down nearly 30 percent. A separate strike ignited a fire at a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast.

Fatalities were reported across several locations following aerial attacks. Strikes in Moscow Oblast left five people dead and ten injured, while a drone crash on a Krasnodar Krai beach killed seven people. Meanwhile, a Russian night raid on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and 33 injuries.

On the frontline, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne, while Ukrainian troops reported progress toward Uspenivka. Additionally, Belarus announced plans to establish a new air assault brigade near its southern border.
