Ukrainian strikes target Russian logistics as clashes intensify on Kharkiv front

Cross-border attacks have escalated as Ukrainian strikes hit Russian logistics and civilian areas, while Russian forces advanced on the eastern front. Ukrainian drone raids targeted major Russian e-commerce facilities, igniting a Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg and causing fires at Ozon hubs in Dagestan and southern Russia. Ozon shares dropped nearly 30 percent following six warehouse attacks over three days.

In Moscow Oblast, drone strikes left five people dead and ten injured. In Krasnodar Krai, a drone crash on a beach killed seven people and injured around 40 others.

Meanwhile, Russian troops achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in the Kharkiv region, while Ukrainian forces continued advances toward Uspenivka. Additionally, Belarus reportedly initiated the formation of a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
