Ukrainian drone strikes target Russian logistics hubs as casualties rise

Heavy cross-border attacks have continued across Ukraine and Russia, resulting in widespread civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. A Russian strike on Kyiv killed nine civilians and injured 33 others. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted major Russian e-commerce hubs, setting fire to a Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg and hitting several Ozon logistics centers, causing Ozon shares to drop by nearly 30 percent.

Casualties were reported in Moscow Oblast, where a warehouse attack left five dead, and in Krasnodar Krai, where seven people died after a drone crashed on a beach. On the ground, Russian forces achieved tactical gains near Artelne in the Kharkiv region, while Ukrainian units advanced near Velyka Novosilka. In addition, Belarus announced the formation of a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
