Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian e-commerce hubs as cross-border attacks intensified, resulting in civilian casualties and frontline shifts.

Cross-border strikes and frontline combat have escalated as Ukrainian drones targeted key Russian e-commerce infrastructure, including facilities belonging to Ozon and Wildberries. Ozon shares dropped nearly 30 percent after six of its logistics hubs were struck across three days, including a site in Dagestan’s capital, Makhachkala. In Leningrad Oblast, a drone hit a Wildberries warehouse, injuring one person.

Russian authorities reported civilian casualties from drone impacts, including five deaths in Moscow Oblast and seven on a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, a Russian missile attack on Kyiv killed nine people and injured over 30 others.

On the ground, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops pushed toward Velyka Novosilka. Additionally, Belarus announced the creation of a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
