Ukrainian drone strikes hit major Russian e-commerce hubs and regional targets, causing casualties in Moscow Oblast and Krasnodar Krai amid ongoing frontline battles.

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted major Russian logistics hubs and regional infrastructure, damaging facilities owned by e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon. Following attacks on multiple distribution centres, Ozon shares dropped nearly 30 percent as operational halts were reported across several regions.

Concurrently, drone impacts in Moscow Oblast killed five people and injured ten, while an explosion on a beach in Krasnodar Krai's Arkhipo-Osipovka left seven dead and roughly 40 injured. In Ukraine, Russian strikes on Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and 33 injuries.

Along the frontline, Russian forces achieved tactical progress near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, whereas Ukrainian units pushed toward Velyka Novosilka. Meanwhile, Belarusian authorities announced plans to construct a new air assault brigade along the country's southern border with Ukraine.
