Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as civilian casualties rise

Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted Russian logistical infrastructure and border areas, inflicting casualties and damaging key commercial operations. A strike on a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast sparked a fire, while drone impacts in Moscow Oblast left five people dead and ten injured. In Krasnodar Krai, seven people died, including three children, after a drone crashed onto a beach near Gelendzhik.

Ukraine also hit multiple facilities belonging to retailer Ozon, including a site in Dagestan, prompting a near 30% drop in the firm's stock value. On the frontline, Russian forces advanced near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, whereas Ukrainian troops progressed toward Uspenivka. Additionally, an overnight strike on Kyiv killed nine people, while Belarus formed a new air assault brigade along Ukraine's border.
