Ukrainian drone strikes target Russian logistics as cross-border casualties rise

Cross-border strikes and frontline engagements have escalated as Ukrainian drones targeted major Russian commercial infrastructure, causing fires at Wildberries and Ozon logistics hubs. Strikes on Ozon facilities, including a hub in Dagestan, led to an operational halt and a nearly 30 percent decline in company shares.

Casualties were reported on both sides. Ukrainian drone strikes killed five people in Moscow Oblast and seven on a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, a Russian attack on Kyiv left nine people dead and dozens injured.

On the front lines, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces advanced toward Uspenivka. Simultaneously, Belarus announced the creation of an air assault brigade along its southern border with Ukraine.
