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

Cross-border military activity and infrastructure strikes have intensified between Russian and Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian commercial logistics, hitting warehouses belonging to e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon across Leningrad Oblast, Moscow Oblast, and Dagestan. Ozon shares dropped nearly 30 percent after six facilities sustained damage.

Fatalities mounted across multiple regions. Russian bombardment of Kyiv resulted in nine deaths, while Ukrainian drone strikes in Moscow Oblast left five dead. Additionally, a drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai killed seven people and injured dozens.

On the front lines, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian units advanced near Velyka Novosilka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced plans to establish a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
