Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian logistics as frontline fighting continues

Cross-border strikes and frontline clashes have intensified between Ukrainian and Russian forces. Ukrainian drone raids targeted logistics infrastructure, causing fires at major Wildberries and Ozon facilities near St. Petersburg and in Makhachkala, Dagestan, which contributed to a sharp decline in Ozon's share price.

Russian authorities reported civilian casualties following drone impacts in several locations. Strikes in Moscow Oblast resulted in five deaths and ten injuries, while seven people were killed and dozens injured after a drone hit a beach near Gelendzhik in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Kyiv killed nine people and injured over 30 others.

On the front lines, Russian forces made tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian units advanced near Velyka Novosilka. Additionally, Belarus announced the creation of a new air assault brigade along its southern border.
