Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as casualties rise on both sides

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted major Russian e-commerce logistics hubs, hitting Wildberries and Ozon facilities across the Leningrad, Moscow, and Dagestan regions. Operations at an Ozon warehouse in Makhachkala were suspended following a strike, contributing to a nearly 30 percent drop in the firm's stock price. Meanwhile, a Wildberries site in Leningrad Oblast caught fire.

Drone impacts also caused civilian casualties in Russia. Regional officials reported five deaths and ten injuries in Moscow Oblast, while a drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai left seven dead and about 40 wounded.

On the front lines, Russian forces recorded a tactical advance near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast and pressed toward Kostiantynivka, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Uspenivka. In Kyiv, a Russian bombardment killed nine civilians and injured 33. Additionally, Belarus announced a new air assault brigade near its border with Ukraine.
