Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian warehouses and Black Sea coast amid ongoing fighting

Cross-border strikes and intense ground clashes have persisted across Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian drone strikes targeted logistics facilities in several Russian regions, igniting major fires at Wildberries distribution hubs in the Leningrad and Moscow oblasts. Regional officials confirmed casualties from the strikes, including at least five deaths in the Moscow region, while international reporting placed the overall toll across Russian warehouses at six. In southern Russia, an aerial drone crashed on a crowded Black Sea beach near Gelendzhik, killing seven people and injuring dozens.

Simultaneously, an overnight strike on Kyiv resulted in nine fatalities and 33 injuries. Along the front lines, Russian forces advanced near Artelne in Kharkiv and pushed into Kostiantynivka, while Ukrainian units maintained localized counter-advances toward Uspenivka. In neighboring Belarus, military authorities are establishing a new air assault brigade near the border.
