Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce hubs as cross-border attacks intensify

Cross-border attacks between Ukraine and Russia escalated as Ukrainian drone strikes targeted major Russian logistics infrastructure, damaging warehouses operated by Wildberries in Leningrad Oblast and multiple facilities belonging to e-commerce firm Ozon, including a hub in Dagestan. The operational disruptions led to a sharp drop in Ozon's share price. Russian regional authorities reported civilian casualties from drone impacts, including five fatalities in Moscow Oblast and seven deaths along a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

Simultaneously, a Russian missile attack on Kyiv killed nine people and injured over thirty others. On the frontline, Russian forces achieved a tactical advance near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops reported minor progress near Velyka Novosilka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced the formation of a new air assault brigade along its southern border with Ukraine.
