Explosions were reported in Russian-occupied Crimea on June 7, with a suspected fire at the Semykolodyazhanska oil depot near Kerch, and further blasts heard at an oil facility in Feodosia. Russia's Ministry of Defense stated that drones were intercepted over the peninsula. Meanwhile, Russian forces conducted nearly 100 shellings across 41 settlements in Ukraine's Sumy region, where a 48-year-old man died from a drone strike. In Kherson, a morning drone attack injured two people, including a 27-year-old man with shrapnel wounds. A separate drone incident in the Kharkiv region left a 61-year-old woman and a 64-year-old man injured after their private home was struck.
