Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian warehouses and border regions as frontline battles escalate

Ukrainian drone attacks struck e-commerce warehouses and Russian border regions, causing casualties and economic disruptions alongside ongoing frontline combat.
Ukrainian drone strikes continue to target Russian infrastructure and border regions, causing casualties and disruptions. In Leningrad Oblast, a drone attack ignited a fire at a Wildberries warehouse, while strikes on Ozon logistics hubs in Dagestan and other areas led to a near 30% drop in Ozon shares. In Moscow Oblast, regional officials reported five deaths and ten injuries following drone strikes near a storage site. Additionally, a drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai left seven people dead, including three children, and dozens injured.
On the frontline, Russian troops advanced near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces progressed toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, an overnight strike on Kyiv killed nine people and injured over 30 others, as Belarus formed a new air assault brigade along the Ukrainian border.
