Ukrainian forces reported 203 combat engagements across the front on June 30, with 25 concentrated in the Pokrovsk direction. Russian forces conducted 51 air strikes, deploying 163 guided aerial bombs. The death toll from Russia's June 29 attack on Dnipro increased to seven after a 59-year-old man died in hospital, leaving 16 individuals still hospitalized, seven critically. In Sumy, 21 people sustained injuries from a Russian guided aerial bomb strike on an infrastructure site, with two hospitalized.
