Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce facilities as deadly civilian impacts and frontline advances were reported across several regions.

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted major Russian e-commerce logistics facilities, causing fires at Wildberries and Ozon sites across Leningrad, Moscow, and Dagestan. Ozon's stock dropped nearly 30 percent after six of its facilities were targeted over three days, halting operations at its Makhachkala hub.

The attacks resulted in casualties inside Russia. Moscow Oblast officials reported five deaths and 10 injuries, while a drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai left seven people dead and about 40 injured.

Concurrently, a Russian missile strike on Kyiv killed nine people. On the battlefield, Russian troops registered a tactical advance near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces pushed toward Uspenivka. Belarus also announced plans for a new air assault brigade near its border with Ukraine.
