Ukrainian drone strikes target Russian supply hubs as regional casualties rise

Cross-border attacks and frontline fighting have escalated significantly across Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian drone strikes targeted major Russian e-commerce facilities, igniting a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast and hitting several Ozon logistics hubs, including a facility in Dagestan. The disruptions triggered a market decline, causing Ozon's shares to drop nearly 30 percent.

Casualties were reported across multiple Russian regions following drone incidents. In Moscow Oblast, attacks resulted in five fatalities and ten injuries, while a drone crash on a beach in Krasnodar Krai left seven people dead. Meanwhile, an overnight Russian attack on Kyiv killed nine residents and injured dozens.

On the ground, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast. Concurrently, Ukrainian troops advanced toward Velyka Novosilka, as Belarus announced plans to establish a new air assault brigade along its southern border.
