Ukrainian strikes hit Russian commercial hubs as civilian casualties rise

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted major Russian logistics infrastructure, hitting facilities owned by e-commerce giants Wildberries and Ozon. Recent attacks damaged a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast and set fire to an Ozon hub in Dagestan, contributing to a sharp decline in Ozon's stock price.

Concurrently, aerial bombardments caused civilian casualties across multiple regions. Officials reported fatalities from drone impacts in Moscow Oblast and on a Krasnodar Krai beach, while a Russian attack on Kyiv left nine people dead and dozens injured.

On the front lines, Russian forces achieved tactical progress near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, whereas Ukrainian units advanced in Donetsk Oblast toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced the creation of a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
