Ukraine: Drone strike kills two in Kherson, Syrskyi warns of potential Russian offensive

A Russian drone strike on a minibus in Kherson on July 1 resulted in two fatalities, including an 18-year-old, and nine injuries. In Sumy, the number of casualties from a Russian guided aerial bomb attack on an infrastructure facility increased to 21, with two individuals hospitalized. Ukrainian forces engaged in 203 combat clashes across the front lines on June 30, with 25 occurring in the Pokrovsk sector. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi stated that a Russian offensive into the Chernihiv region from Bryansk Oblast is a realistic threat, noting President Vladimir Putin's instruction to his General Staff to "calculate various options for conducting an offensive operation, including from the territory of Belarus with the aim of capturing Kyiv and other territories." Throughout June, Russia reportedly targeted ten civilian sites, including historical locations and residential areas, with over half sustaining damage.
