On July 1, Ukraine reported multiple Russian attacks, including two separate drone strikes in Kherson, resulting in fatalities and injuries. President Zelenskyy warned of an impending new large-scale strike.
On July 1, Ukraine experienced multiple Russian attacks, with two distinct drone strikes reported in Kherson. One incident involved a minibus, resulting in two deaths, including an 18-year-old, and nine injuries. A separate drone assault on the city center claimed one life and wounded 20 individuals, also causing a fire and structural damage. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that intelligence suggests Russia is preparing another significant nationwide strike. Concurrently, Ukraine's Ambassador to NATO, Olena Hetmanchuk, confirmed that 90-92% of Patriot missile interceptors are supplied to Ukraine via the PURL procurement scheme. These events occurred as a report highlighted ten civilian locations in Ukraine targeted by Russia in June, with over half sustaining damage. Sources: Громадське, Радіо Свобода, Українська правда
