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

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial infrastructure, striking e-commerce giant Ozon's logistics hubs across Russia, including a facility in Dagestan. The attacks, which follow earlier strikes on rival retailer Wildberries in Leningrad Oblast, sent Ozon's shares down nearly 30%.

Civilian areas also suffered heavy casualties. A drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai, leaving seven dead and dozens injured, while strikes in Moscow Oblast killed five people. Meanwhile, Russian bombardments on Kyiv killed nine residents and injured 33 others.

On the frontline, Russian forces made a tactical advance near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast. Conversely, Ukrainian units progressed near Velyka Novosilka, as neighboring Belarus established a new air assault brigade along its southern border.
