Ukrainian drones targeted Wildberries logistics hubs across Russia, while drone strikes in Gelendzhik killed seven civilians, prompting Russian glide bomb attacks on Zaporizhzhia.

Ukrainian forces have sustained their long-range drone offensive against key Russian logistics centers, damaging facilities belonging to major online retailer Wildberries. Strikes across Russia, including a recent attack on a warehouse in the Vladimir region near Moscow, have now destroyed over one million square meters of distribution infrastructure.

Concurrently, aerial violence escalated along the Black Sea coast. Russian officials reported that drone debris crashed onto a crowded resort beach in Gelendzhik, killing seven civilians, including three children. Further strikes in Belgorod and Crimea raised the reported death toll across Russian-controlled territories to 11. Moscow accused Kyiv of intentionally targeting civilian sites. Meanwhile, Russian forces launched a series of glide bomb attacks on residential neighborhoods in Zaporizhzhia, killing one person and injuring dozens.
