Ukrainian drones strike Russian supply hubs as cross-border casualties rise

Ukrainian long-range drone attacks targeted critical Russian civilian and commercial infrastructure, hitting major logistics hubs belonging to Wildberries near Saint Petersburg and Ozon across multiple regions, including Dagestan. The strikes disrupted supply networks and triggered a sharp decline in Ozon stock prices. Russian authorities reported civilian casualties from drone impacts, including five fatalities in Moscow Oblast and seven on a Krasnodar Krai beach.

Concurrently, a Russian overnight bombardment of Kyiv killed nine people and injured dozens. On the front lines, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough in the Kharkiv direction near Artelne, while Ukrainian forces registered minor counter-advances near Velyka Novosilka in Donetsk. Meanwhile, neighboring Belarus announced the formation of a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
