Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian commercial logistics and regional areas, while fighting intensified along the Kharkiv and Donetsk fronts.

Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted major Russian logistics hubs and regional infrastructure, impacting facilities owned by e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon in Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan. A strike in Krasny Bor damaged a Wildberries warehouse, while attacks on Ozon hubs triggered operational halts and a near 30% drop in company shares.

Regional authorities reported civilian casualties from drone activity, including five deaths in Moscow Oblast and seven on a Krasnodar Krai beach. Meanwhile, Russian strikes on Kyiv killed nine people and injured dozens.

On the front lines, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian units advanced toward Uspenivka in Donetsk Oblast. Additionally, Belarus announced the formation of a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
