Ukrainian strikes hit Wildberries and Ozon logistics hubs while cross-border attacks caused civilian casualties in Moscow, Krasnodar Krai, and Kyiv.

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian logistics facilities, causing fires at a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast and an Ozon hub in Dagestan, sending Ozon’s stock down by nearly 30 percent.

Casualties mounted across several regions. Ukrainian drone impacts in Moscow Oblast killed five people and injured ten. In Krasnodar Krai, a drone crash on a beach killed seven people and injured around 40 others. Concurrently, Russian overnight strikes on Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and 33 injuries.

On the front lines, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian units sustained advances toward Velyka Novosilka. In Belarus, authorities announced the creation of a new air assault brigade along the northern Ukrainian border.
