Cross-border drone attacks hit major Russian retail logistics facilities and civilian areas, while fighting and airstrikes continue across Ukraine.

Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted commercial infrastructure across Russia, striking warehouses belonging to major online retailers Wildberries in Leningrad Oblast and Ozon in Dagestan. Shares in Ozon dropped nearly 30 percent following strikes on six of its facilities within three days.

Casualties were reported in several Russian regions. In Moscow Oblast, drone strikes left five people dead and 10 injured, while a drone falling on a beach in Krasnodar Krai killed seven people, including three children.

In Ukraine, a Russian barrage on Kyiv killed nine people and injured 33. On the front lines, Russian forces secured localized gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Velyka Novosilka. Meanwhile, Belarusian authorities confirmed the creation of a new air assault brigade along the Ukrainian border.
