Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as cross-border fighting escalates

Ukrainian drone attacks targeted major Russian commercial e-commerce facilities and regional infrastructure, setting fire to warehouses operated by Wildberries in Leningrad Oblast and Ozon in Dagestan. Strikes in Moscow Oblast left five people dead and ten injured, while a drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai killed seven individuals.

Meanwhile, Russian attacks killed nine people in Kyiv during overnight bombardment. On the ground, Russian forces reported tactical advances in the Kharkiv region, while Ukrainian troops pushed forward in southern Donetsk. In response to regional tensions, Belarus announced the creation of a new air assault brigade near its southern border with Ukraine.
