Ukrainian drone strikes targeted major Russian logistics hubs as cross-border attacks caused civilian casualties in both Russia and Kyiv.

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted major Russian e-commerce logistics hubs, causing fires at Wildberries and Ozon facilities across several regions. The attacks hit a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast and Ozon hubs in Dagestan and southern Russia, contributing to a nearly 30 percent drop in Ozon shares.

Civilian casualties mounted following several strikes. Ukrainian attacks in Moscow Oblast killed five people and injured ten, while a fallen drone on a beach near Gelendzhik left seven dead and roughly 40 injured. In Ukraine, Russian strikes on Kyiv killed nine people and wounded 33.

Along the frontline, Russian forces achieved tactical progress near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Uspenivka. Additionally, Belarusian authorities confirmed the creation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
