Ukrainian strikes hit Russian commercial hubs as casualties rise across regions

Ukrainian drone strikes continue to disrupt Russian supply chains, targeting facilities operated by e-commerce firms Wildberries and Ozon. Fire broke out at a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast following a strike, while an Ozon logistics hub in Dagestan was damaged, driving Ozon’s stock down by nearly 30 percent.

The strikes caused significant civilian casualties across Russia. In Moscow Oblast, drone impacts left five people dead and ten injured. Another drone crashed on a packed beach in Krasnodar Krai, killing seven individuals and injuring dozens more. Meanwhile, Russian forces launched overnight attacks against Kyiv, killing nine residents and injuring 33.

On the frontline, Russian units achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian forces sustained advances toward Velyka Novosilka. Tensions also escalated along Ukraine’s northern border as Belarusian authorities announced the creation of a new air assault brigade.
