Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine kill at least six
Russian missile and drone attacks killed at least six and injured 15 in regions across Ukraine overnight on Wednesday, regional authorities said — days before US President Donald Trump is set to meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska for peace talks. Moscow launched at least 49 Shahed-type attack drones, as well as two Iskander-M or KN-23 ballistic missiles overnight, the Ukrainian air force said. Air defences were able to destroy or disable at least 32, with several direct hits. Four people were killed in the Kherson region, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said, with one dead and four injured in a series of drone strikes that targeted residential areas. Separate strikes killed one in the village of Chornobaivka and two civilians in a car in the city of Beryslav, Prokudin added. "A house has been destroyed in the attack. Rescue workers have recovered the body of a 61-year-old woman from under the rubble," Prokudin wrote in a post on Facebook. The strikes targeted residential areas and infrastructure, he explained, destroying a high-rise building, five houses, a cell tower and several vehicles. In the Donetsk region, strikes killed two people in Kostiantynivka and injured 10 others, governor Vadym Filashkin wrote. Another person was injured after strikes on the city of Vasylivka in the Zaporizhzhia region. In total, Moscow carried out 529 attacks on 10 settlements over the course of the day. Russia has continued to strike Ukraine despite US efforts to reach a ceasefire deal. On Friday, Trump is set to meet Putin in Alaska for the first face-to-face encounter between US and Russian leaders since Moscow's full-scale invasion of its neighbour in February 2022. Despite the talks, Moscow's troops have launched a sudden push in eastern Ukraine in recent days, reports suggest. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Moscow is "redeploying their troops and forces" to launch new attacks on his country, despite external efforts to hold talks that move toward a ceasefire.

Russian Artillery Strike Destroys Kherson Hospital, Injures Civilians
This article was originally published by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and is reprinted with permission. An artillery strike by Russian forces hit a hospital in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, destroying the medical facility and injuring several civilians, according to regional officials. Kherson regional Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on July 2 that five patients and three nurses were wounded when the building was hit late the previous night. A 44-year-old nurse suffered a blast injury, concussion, and shrapnel wounds to her chest and is currently hospitalized, as are four other patients. The others received medical assistance and were then discharged. The hospital strike was part of a broader Russian assault on civilian infrastructure in the Kherson region over the past 24 hours. Three medical workers and five patients were wounded after a Russian artillery strike hit a hospital in Kherson, Ukraine. — Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (@RFERL) July 2, 2025 Prokudin said residential neighborhoods, including high-rise buildings and 11 private homes, were damaged in the attack. A business, a bus, several cars, and a farm facility also sustained damage. Ten people were reported injured in the attacks. Attacks were also reported in the village of Antonivka near Kherson, as well as in Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Despite repeated denials from Moscow that it is targeting civilian infrastructure, Russian artillery, drones, guided bombs, and missiles continue to hit such premises across Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities and international organizations have condemned the strikes as deliberate and systematic war crimes. The Ukrainian military, meanwhile, struck deep inside Russian territory as it looks to disrupt Russian supply lines. On July 2, Ukraine's General Staff confirmed a strike on the Saratovorgsintez oil refinery in Russia's Saratov region. The refinery, reportedly used by Russian forces to produce fuel for its military units, was hit by Ukrainian Defense Intelligence (HUR) in coordination with other units. Technological installations were damaged, and a fire broke out at the site. Russia's Defense Ministry said on July 2 that its air defense forces intercepted and destroyed 60 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones overnight across several regions of the country. While the battlefield remains active, Ukraine may soon face new challenges in terms of Western support, according to US media reports. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reportedly ordered a halt to shipments of key munitions to Ukraine, including dozens of Patriot missiles, over 100 Hellfire missiles, GMLRS rockets, and thousands of artillery shells, NBC News reported, citing Pentagon and Congressional sources. The suspension comes amid growing concerns in Washington over dwindling U.S. stockpiles. The decision, reportedly made in early June, was only recently enacted.

Two killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine before possible talks in Turkiye
Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine have killed at least two people, according to officials, as Ukraine ordered the evacuation of 11 more villages in its Sumy region bordering Russia. Russian troops launched an estimated 109 drones and five missiles across Ukraine on Friday and overnight, the Ukrainian air force said on Saturday, adding that three of the missiles and 42 drones were destroyed and another 30 drones failed to reach their targets without causing damage. The attacks came amid uncertainty over whether Kyiv will take part in a new round of peace talks early next week in Istanbul. In the Russian attacks on Saturday, a child was killed in a strike on the front-line village of Dolynka in the Zaporizhia region, and another was injured, Zaporizhia's Governor Ivan Fedorov said. 'One house was destroyed. The shockwave from the blast also damaged several other houses, cars, and outbuildings,' Fedorov wrote on Telegram. A man was also killed by Russian shelling in Ukraine's Kherson region, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin wrote on Telegram. Moscow did not comment on either attack. Meanwhile, authorities in Ukraine's Sumy region said they were evacuating 11 villages within a roughly 30-kilometre (19-mile) range from the Russian border. 'The decision was made in view of the constant threat to civilian life as a result of shelling of border communities,' the regional administration said on social media. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said some 50,000 Russian troops have amassed in the area with the intention of launching an offensive to carve out a buffer zone inside Ukrainian territory. Ukraine's top army chief, Oleksandr Syrskii, said on Saturday that Russian forces were focusing their main offensive efforts on Pokrovsk, Torets and Lyman in the Donetsk region, as well as the Sumy border area. Syrskii added that Ukrainian forces are still holding territory in Russia's Kursk region – a statement Moscow has repeatedly denied. The evacuations and attacks came just two days before a possible meeting between Kyiv and Moscow in Istanbul, as Washington called on both countries to end the three-year war. Russia has confirmed it will send a delegation, but Kyiv has not yet accepted the proposal, warning the talks would not yield results unless the Kremlin provided its peace terms in advance. Zelenskyy said Saturday it was still not clear what Moscow was planning to achieve at the meeting and that so far, it did not 'look very serious'.
