Ukrainian strikes hit Russian e-commerce hubs as casualties rise across regions

Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted commercial infrastructure and civilian areas across several Russian regions, disrupting major e-commerce operations. Facilities belonging to retail giants Wildberries and Ozon caught fire in Moscow, Leningrad, and Dagestan, leading to an almost 30% decline in Ozon's share price.

The strikes resulted in multiple casualties, including five deaths at a Moscow Oblast logistics site and seven fatalities after a drone crashed onto a beach in Krasnodar Krai. Meanwhile, Russian bombardment killed nine people in Kyiv.

On the front lines, Russian troops made tactical gains near Kharkiv, while Ukrainian forces reported advances in Donetsk. Additionally, Belarus announced plans to establish a new air assault brigade near the Ukrainian border.
