Ukrainian drone attacks hit major Russian e-commerce warehouses, impacting Ozon shares and causing casualties across several regions alongside ongoing frontline battles.

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted major Russian logistics hubs, hitting facilities belonging to e-commerce firms Wildberries and Ozon. Attacks across the Leningrad region, Moscow Oblast, and Dagestan sparked fires at key distribution centers, causing operational halts and driving Ozon's shares down by nearly 30 percent.

Casualties were reported in multiple Russian regions. Local authorities confirmed five deaths in Moscow Oblast following drone strikes, while a separate drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai left seven people dead and dozens injured.

Concurrently, a Russian strike on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and 33 injuries. On the frontline, Russian forces achieved tactical breakthroughs near Kharkiv, whereas Ukrainian troops advanced toward Velyka Novosilka. Belarus also announced plans to form a new air assault brigade along its southern border with Ukraine.
