Overview
- Drone debris struck a private childcare centre in Krasnodar on Monday, killing two children and wounding nine people including seven children, Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said.
- The strike caused a fire at an Ozon logistics hub in Krasnodar, the company said, and Ozon reported this was the third of its warehouses hit in recent days after Samara and Orenburg.
- The Russian Defence Ministry said air defences shot down 269 Ukrainian fixed‑wing drones over several regions in a 12‑hour period, a figure that the reporting notes has limited independent verification.
- Stavropol regional governor Vladimir Vladimirov said a drone attack on an industrial chemical area near Nevinnomysk was repelled, while Russian strikes inside Ukraine, including on Kharkiv, have continued to cause civilian deaths.
- Analysts say Ukraine has stepped up strikes on Russian logistics and warehouses to squeeze supply lines, Russia has vowed retaliation, and shortages of interceptor missiles are raising urgent appeals from Kyiv to Western partners.
