Ukrainian drone attacks have hit logistics facilities across Russia, targeting warehouses operated by major e-commerce platforms Wildberries and Ozon. Strikes affected hubs in Leningrad Oblast, Moscow Oblast, and Dagestan, sparking fires and disrupting online retail operations. Ozon shares dropped nearly 30% following attacks on six of its facilities within three days.

Fatalities were reported across multiple locations, including five deaths at a warehouse in Moscow Oblast and seven on a beach in Krasnodar Krai following a drone crash. Simultaneously, Russian strikes on Kyiv left nine dead and dozens injured. On the frontlines, Russian forces achieved tactical advances near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops progressed toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced the creation of a new air assault brigade along its southern border.
