A 59-year-old man died in hospital on June 30, raising the death toll from Russia's June 29 attack on Dnipro to seven, including six men and one woman. Sixteen people remain hospitalized, with seven in serious condition. In Sumy, the number of individuals wounded in a Russian guided aerial bomb strike on an infrastructure facility increased to 21, comprising eight women and thirteen men.
