Ukrainian drone strikes targeted major Russian e-commerce facilities and border regions, while Russian forces made gains near Artelne and launched a strike on Kyiv.

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian commercial infrastructure and civilian areas, setting fire to Wildberries and Ozon facilities in Leningrad Oblast and Dagestan. The campaign against Ozon caused its shares to fall nearly 30 percent after six warehouses were hit within three days. Regional officials reported casualties, including five deaths in Moscow Oblast and seven fatalities after a drone crashed on a beach in Krasnodar Krai.

In Ukraine, a Russian attack on Kyiv left nine people dead and 33 injured. On the front lines, Russian forces made tactical gains near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced toward Uspenivka. Additionally, Belarus announced plans to establish a new air assault brigade near its border with Ukraine.
