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

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial infrastructure and border regions, hitting six Ozon logistics hubs over three days, including a facility in Dagestan. The attacks contributed to a nearly 30 percent decline in Ozon's share value. A Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast also caught fire following drone impacts.

Cross-border casualties mounted as a drone crash on a beach near Gelendzhik killed seven people and injured approximately 40, while drone strikes in Moscow Oblast left five dead and 10 injured. In Ukraine, a Russian attack on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and 33 injuries.

On the front lines, Russian forces achieved tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced near Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarusian authorities announced plans to form a new air assault brigade near the border with Ukraine.
