Casualties reported in Kherson and Sumy; Syrskyi warns of Chernihiv offensive

A Russian drone strike on a minibus in Kherson on July 1 killed two people, including an 18-year-old, and injured nine. In Sumy, casualties from a Russian guided aerial bomb attack on an infrastructure facility rose to 21, with two hospitalized and 14 undergoing examination; 8 women and 13 men were among the injured. On June 30, Ukrainian forces engaged in 203 combat clashes, including 25 in the Pokrovsk sector, while Russian forces conducted 51 air strikes and dropped 163 guided aerial bombs. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reiterated that a Russian offensive into the Chernihiv region from Bryansk Oblast is a realistic threat, citing President Vladimir Putin's instruction to his General Staff to "calculate various options for conducting an offensive operation." Throughout June, Russia reportedly targeted ten civilian sites, including historical locations and residential areas, with over half sustaining damage.
