Ukrainian drone strikes hit major Russian e-commerce hubs, while fatalities were reported across Russian regions and in Kyiv amid ongoing frontline clashes.

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted major Russian e-commerce logistics centers, causing significant fires at distribution hubs for Wildberries and Ozon across the Leningrad region, Moscow Oblast, and Dagestan. Ozon saw its stock decline by nearly 30 percent after multiple facilities suspended operations following the strikes.

Regional authorities in Moscow Oblast confirmed five deaths and ten injuries following strikes on warehouse facilities. Separately, local officials reported seven fatalities and dozens of injuries after a drone crashed onto a crowded beach in Krasnodar Krai.

Concurrently, a Russian strike on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and 33 injuries. On the frontline, Russian forces achieved tactical gains in the Kharkiv region, while Ukrainian troops advanced in the south. Meanwhile, Belarus announced the formation of a new air assault brigade along its southern border with Ukraine.
