The death toll from Russia's June 29 attack on Dnipro has risen to seven after a 59-year-old man succumbed to his injuries in hospital, with 16 individuals still receiving medical care, seven critically. In Sumy, 21 people were injured following a Russian guided aerial bomb strike on an infrastructure site, with two hospitalized. Ukrainian forces reported 203 combat engagements across the front on June 30, including 25 in the Pokrovsk direction, while Russian forces conducted 51 air strikes and deployed 163 guided aerial bombs. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reiterated that a Russian offensive into the Chernihiv region from Bryansk Oblast remains a realistic threat, for which Ukraine is preparing. He also noted that President Vladimir Putin has tasked his General Staff with evaluating various offensive options, including from Belarus, to capture Kyiv. Separately, a report detailed 10 civilian sites in Ukraine targeted by Russian attacks in June, including an ancient shrine, a film studio, a zoo, a concert hall, a bus stop, and residential buildings, with over half damaged by missile and drone attacks.
