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

Ukrainian forces targeted major Russian commercial infrastructure with drone strikes, causing fires at Wildberries and Ozon logistics centers across several regions, including Dagestan and Leningrad Oblast. The attacks significantly impacted operations at Ozon after six facilities were hit over three days, sending its shares down nearly 30 percent. Meanwhile, civilian casualties mounted from drone crashes in the Moscow region, where five people died, and in Krasnodar Krai, where seven individuals were killed when a drone landed on a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka.

Concurrently, a Russian strike on Kyiv left nine people dead and 33 injured. On the battlefield, Russian troops secured tactical advances in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces recorded progress in southern Donetsk. Amid the escalating conflict, Belarus announced plans to establish a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
