Ukrainian strikes hit Russian logistics hubs as cross-border casualties rise

Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce logistics facilities, including Ozon and Wildberries, amid rising casualties in Moscow Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and Kyiv.
Cross-border drone attacks have inflicted casualties and targeted logistics hubs across Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian strikes hit major commercial warehouses, burning a Wildberries facility in Leningrad Oblast and damaging Ozon hubs in Dagestan and other regions. Ozon's shares fell nearly 30% after six facilities were hit in three days.
Fatalities mounted in several locations. Ukrainian drones killed five people in Moscow Oblast and seven on a beach in Krasnodar Krai, while a Russian strike on Kyiv left nine dead and 33 injured.
Ground forces reported tactical shifts, with Russian troops advancing near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast and Ukrainian units moving toward Uspenivka. Meanwhile, Belarus announced a new air assault brigade near Ukraine's border.
