Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce hubs as frontline clashes escalate

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial hubs and civilian infrastructure across several regions. Attacks on warehouses operated by e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon caused fires in Moscow Oblast, Leningrad Oblast, and Dagestan, prompting a sharp drop in Ozon shares.

The strikes resulted in casualties, including five deaths at a Moscow Oblast warehouse and seven fatalities when a drone crashed on a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, Russian bombardment of Kyiv killed nine people.

On the front lines, Russian troops made tactical gains near Kharkiv, while Ukrainian forces advanced in Donetsk. Additionally, Belarus planned a new brigade near Ukraine's border.
