Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce facilities and border areas, causing casualties and fires, as Russian attacks struck Kyiv.

Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian commercial logistics centers, causing fires at Wildberries and Ozon facilities across multiple regions, including Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan. Ozon shares dropped nearly 30 percent following repeated warehouse attacks.

Casualties mounted across several locations. A drone attack in Moscow Oblast killed five people and injured ten at a local warehouse, while a drone crash on a beach near Gelendzhik left seven dead and roughly 40 injured. In Ukraine, Russian strikes on Kyiv killed nine people and wounded 33.

Along the frontline, Russian forces achieved tactical progress near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced the creation of a new air assault brigade near its southern border with Ukraine.
