Intensified Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce logistics centers and caused civilian casualties across several regions, while ground combat continues along the frontline.

Drone strikes inside Russian territory have intensified, causing civilian casualties and hitting major commercial infrastructure. Recent attacks targeted facilities belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Ozon in southern Russia, including a logistics hub in Makhachkala, Dagestan, causing its stock price to fall significantly. These follow earlier strikes on rival retailer Wildberries, which sparked a fire at a warehouse in Leningrad Oblast.

Concurrently, local authorities reported civilian fatalities from drone incidents in Russian regions. An attack in Moscow Oblast left five people dead and multiple injured, alongside warehouse damage. In Krasnodar Krai, a drone crash on a beach near Gelendzhik killed seven people, including three children, and injured dozens more.

Meanwhile, ground fighting continues along the frontline, with Russian forces securing tactical advances near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces progressed toward Uspenivka.
