Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce hubs as casualties rise

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial infrastructure and civilian areas, severely impacting major e-commerce platforms Wildberries and Ozon. Attacks sparked fires at a Wildberries facility in Leningrad Oblast and suspended operations at an Ozon logistics hub in Dagestan. Ozon shares dropped nearly 30% following strikes on six of its facilities within three days.

In Moscow Oblast, regional authorities reported five fatalities and ten injuries after drone strikes ignited a warehouse fire. A separate drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai killed seven people and injured approximately 40. Concurrently, a Russian attack on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and 33 injuries.

On the front lines, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces reported progress near Velyka Novosilka. Belarus also announced the deployment of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
