Ukrainian drone attacks struck major Russian retail warehouses and a Krasnodar beach, while a Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine people.

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian e-commerce facilities and coastal areas, causing casualties and operational disruptions. Attacks hit Wildberries warehouses in Leningrad and Moscow Oblasts, leaving five dead and ten injured in the Moscow region, while an Ozon logistics hub in Dagestan caught fire, driving the retailer's shares down sharply. In Krasnodar Krai, seven civilians died after a drone crashed onto a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka.

Concurrently, a Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine people and injured over 30 others. On the ground, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces recorded progress toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarus is reportedly establishing a new air assault brigade near its southern border.
