Elsewhere across the oblast, Russian drones and guided bombs wounded civilians in the Sumy, Bilopillia, Vorozhba, and Sad communities, including several children. The attacks continued Russia's sustained campaign against towns and villages near the border.

Kyiv search-and-rescue efforts concluded
Search operations have ended at the apartment building destroyed in Russia's mass attack on Kyiv, with rescuers recovering 10 bodies from the rubble.
The strike on the nine-story building in Darnytskyi district was part of the overnight assault that killed 30 people across the capital. Recovery and stabilization work is continuing at three other damaged sites in the district.
The attack was one of the largest on Kyiv in months, with Russia launching hundreds of drones and missiles in a coordinated overnight strike that caused widespread destruction across the city.
Zaporizhzhia Oblast
A Russian drone strike injured two civilians in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, including a farm worker targeted while harvesting crops.
A drone hit a combine harvester during field work in Zaporizhzhia district, injuring a 30-year-old man and setting agricultural machinery and dry vegetation on fire. In another part of the region, a separate strike injured one person and ignited a house and a low-pressure gas pipeline.
Wildfires in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts
Russian attacks sparked at least 23 wildfires across Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts over the past day, burning farmland and natural ecosystems.
In Kherson Oblast, drone debris ignited wheat fields in Beryslav district, destroying crops across several hectares. Emergency services reported 15 ecosystem fires in the region, six caused by Russian attacks. In neighboring Zaporizhzhia Oblast, 17 of 24 recorded wildfires were also linked to Russian shelling.
The fires come as Ukraine enters the peak summer season, when strikes can quickly spread through dry fields and vegetation, putting harvests and nearby communities at greater risk.
