Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs and border regions

Cross-border attacks between Russia and Ukraine have escalated significantly, marked by heavy casualties and hits on commercial infrastructure. Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian logistics networks, setting fire to a Wildberries facility in Leningrad Oblast and hitting several hubs operated by rival e-commerce firm Ozon, including a site in Makhachkala, Dagestan. The disruptions triggered a sharp drop in Ozon's share price.

Aerial strikes inside Russia also resulted in severe civilian casualties, with local officials reporting five deaths in Moscow Oblast and seven fatalities after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, Russian forces made tactical advances near Kharkiv and Velyka Novosilka, while Belarus reportedly initiated the formation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
