Ukrainian strikes target Russian logistics hubs as frontline fighting escalates

Ukrainian forces have targeted major Russian commercial logistics centers, causing fires at Wildberries facilities near Saint Petersburg and hitting six Ozon locations within three days, triggering a nearly 30 percent fall in Ozon shares.

Cross-border drone strikes caused civilian casualties in several Russian regions, including five fatalities in Moscow Oblast and seven on a Krasnodar Krai beach. Meanwhile, Russian bombardments on Kyiv left nine people dead and over 30 wounded.

Along the frontline, Russian forces achieved a tactical breakthrough near Artelne in Kharkiv Oblast, while Ukrainian troops advanced near Velyka Novosilka. Belarus also announced the creation of a new air assault brigade along its border with Ukraine.
