Ukrainian drone strikes hit major Russian e-commerce facilities and regional targets, causing casualties in Moscow, Krasnodar, and Kyiv alongside ongoing frontline shifts.

Ukrainian drone attacks against Russian infrastructure have expanded, hitting commercial hubs and causing multiple casualties across several regions. Strikes on e-commerce giant Ozon affected six logistics hubs over three days, including a facility in Dagestan, contributing to a nearly 30 percent drop in the company's share value. A separate attack in Leningrad Oblast set fire to a Wildberries warehouse, while a strike in Moscow Oblast resulted in five deaths and ten injuries.

In Krasnodar Krai, seven people died and approximately 40 were injured after a drone crashed onto a beach near Gelendzhik. Meanwhile, Russian bombardments on Kyiv killed nine people and wounded 33. On the battlefield, Russian troops made tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces advanced near Uspenivka. Additionally, Belarus announced a new air assault brigade near its border with Ukraine.
