Ukrainian drone strikes hit major Russian logistics facilities while casualties were reported across several regions in Russia and Ukraine.

Cross-border attacks and military operations have escalated, with Ukrainian drone strikes targeting major Russian commercial infrastructure. Logistics facilities belonging to e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon sustained significant damage across several regions, including Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan. The strikes forced operational halts at key hubs and contributed to a nearly 30% drop in Ozon's share value.

Simultaneously, Russian regional officials reported civilian casualties from drone activity, including five fatalities in Moscow Oblast and seven on a Krasnodar Krai beach. In Ukraine, a Russian assault on Kyiv resulted in nine deaths and dozens of injuries. Meanwhile, Russian forces made tactical advances in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, and Belarusian authorities began forming a new air assault brigade along the southern border.
