Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian logistics as front-line fighting intensifies

Cross-border drone strikes and front-line clashes have escalated as Ukrainian attacks target Russian infrastructure and front-line positions shift. Ukrainian drone strikes hit major Russian e-commerce facilities, igniting a Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg and damaging six Ozon hubs over three days, causing Ozon shares to drop by nearly 30 percent.

Attacks inside Russia led to multiple civilian casualties, including five fatalities in Moscow Oblast and seven deaths, among them three children, when a drone crashed on a Krasnodar Krai beach. In Ukraine, a Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33.

Along the front lines, Russian forces claimed a breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops pushed toward Uspenivka in southern Donetsk. Additionally, Belarusian authorities announced the creation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
