Ukrainian drone strikes target Russian retailers as casualties rise

Ukrainian drone strikes against Russian commercial infrastructure have expanded, hitting facilities belonging to online retailer Ozon after previous attacks on rival platform Wildberries. Following six strikes on Ozon logistics hubs over three days, including a site in Dagestan, the company's shares fell nearly 30 percent. Wildberries warehouses near Saint Petersburg were also set ablaze.

Casualties were reported across multiple Russian regions. A drone strike in Moscow Oblast killed five people and injured ten at a commercial warehouse. In Krasnodar Krai, seven people died and approximately 40 were injured after a drone crashed on a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka. Meanwhile, Russian bombardments targeted Kyiv, resulting in nine deaths and 33 injuries. On the front line, Russian troops made tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces progressed near Velyka Novosilka.
