Ukrainian drone attacks hit major Russian e-commerce facilities and coastal areas, while frontline fighting continues in Kharkiv Oblast and Ukraine's south.

Ukrainian drone strikes continue to disrupt Russian supply chains and logistics, targeting facilities belonging to major online retailers Wildberries and Ozon across multiple regions, including Leningrad Oblast, Moscow Oblast, and Dagestan. The attacks triggered fires, operational suspensions, and a sharp decline in stock value for Ozon.

Human casualties were reported across several locations. Five people were killed and ten injured in a warehouse attack in the Moscow region, while seven civilians died after a drone fell on a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, an overnight strike on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and dozens of injuries.

On the front lines, Russian forces achieved tactical advances in Kharkiv Oblast, whereas Ukrainian units recorded progress near Uspenivka. Additionally, reports indicate Belarus is establishing a new air assault brigade near its southern border.
