Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian e-commerce infrastructure and regions including Moscow and Krasnodar, while frontline shifts continued in Kharkiv and Donetsk.

Ukrainian drone strikes have increasingly targeted Russian commercial infrastructure, hitting several logistics hubs belonging to major e-commerce platforms Wildberries and Ozon. Recent attacks disrupted operations at Ozon facilities in southern Russia, including Dagestan, triggering an almost 30% drop in company shares.

The cross-border drone campaign caused fatal casualties in multiple Russian regions. Authorities reported five deaths and ten injuries following strikes in Moscow Oblast, alongside a drone crash on a Krasnodar Krai beach that killed seven people. Meanwhile, a Russian attack on Kyiv left nine civilians dead and over 30 injured.

On the front lines, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces maintained advances in the south near Velyka Novosilka. Belarus also announced plans to deploy a new air assault brigade near its southern border with Ukraine.
