Facilities belonging to major retailers Wildberries and Ozon sustained damage, including sites in Leningrad Oblast, Moscow Oblast, and Dagestan's capital, Makhachkala. In Moscow Oblast, regional officials reported five deaths and ten injuries following a strike near a local facility. Meanwhile, seven people, including three children, were killed and around 40 injured after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

On the front lines, Russian forces claimed tactical advances near Artilne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops progressed toward Uspenivka and Velyka Novosilka.
