Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as cross-border casualties mount

Ukrainian drone strikes recently targeted major Russian logistics hubs, hitting facilities operated by e-commerce platforms Wildberries and Ozon. The strikes ignited fires at warehouses in Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan, causing Ozon's share price to drop significantly after six of its facilities were hit over three days.

Cross-border attacks also resulted in severe civilian casualties. Russian regional officials reported five fatalities from drone strikes in Moscow Oblast and seven deaths, including three children, on a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, a Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33.

On the battlefield, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces continued advancing near Velyka Novosilka. In addition, Belarusian authorities announced the formation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
