Ukrainian drone strikes targeted e-commerce warehouses and Russian regions as heavy frontline fighting and cross-border incidents continued.

A wave of Ukrainian drone strikes has targeted critical Russian infrastructure and military positions across several regions. Attacks on e-commerce logistics centers damaged facilities owned by Wildberries in Leningrad Oblast and Ozon in Dagestan, causing Ozon shares to plunge nearly 30 percent. In Moscow Oblast, regional officials reported five deaths and ten injuries following drone strikes that sparked fires at local storage sites. Additionally, seven people, including three children, died when a drone fell on a beach near Gelendzhik in Krasnodar Krai.

Concurrently, heavy fighting persists along the frontline. Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarusian authorities confirmed the creation of a new air assault brigade stationed near the Ukrainian border.
