Ukrainian strikes hit Russian e-commerce hubs as cross-border casualties rise

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted major Russian commercial infrastructure and border regions, causing fires at Wildberries and Ozon logistics facilities. In Leningrad Oblast, an attack on a Wildberries warehouse left one person injured, while strikes on Ozon hubs in Dagestan sparked fires and led to a nearly 30 percent drop in company shares. Cross-border strikes resulted in civilian deaths on both sides: five people were killed in Moscow Oblast, seven died after a drone impact on a beach in Krasnodar Krai, and Russian bombardments killed nine people in Kyiv. Meanwhile, Russian forces claimed a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, as Ukrainian troops advanced near Uspenivka. Additionally, Belarus announced the establishment of a new air assault brigade along its southern border.
