Ukrainian drone strikes targeted major Russian logistics facilities and border regions as combat operations continued along the front lines.

Recent Ukrainian drone attacks have focused on key Russian commercial infrastructure alongside border areas. Strikes targeted multiple warehouses belonging to e-commerce firms Wildberries and Ozon, including major facilities in Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan. Ozon reported significant share declines following operational disruptions at its logistics hubs.

Simultaneously, regional authorities in Russia reported civilian casualties from drone impacts. Moscow Oblast officials confirmed five deaths near local storage sites, while seven people died after a drone fell onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

On the front lines, Russian forces claimed a tactical advance near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops progressed toward Uspenivka. Amid ongoing military action, including a strike on Kyiv that caused dozens of casualties, Belarusian authorities announced the creation of a new air assault brigade near the border with Ukraine.
