Russian Strikes Kill 1, Wound 15 in Kramatorsk as Civilian Toll Climbs

On Thursday, Russian strikes in Kramatorsk, Ukraine, resulted in at least one fatality and 15 injuries, according to local authorities. Donetsk regional governor Vadym Filashkin reported that Russian forces targeted the city and the nearby village of Bilenke eight times during the evening, striking residential buildings. A separate Russian attack in Zaporizhzhia also occurred, wounding two individuals, including a five-year-old child, according to regional governor Ivan Fedorov.

These strikes come as the United Nations revealed that civilian casualties in Ukraine during July reached their highest monthly figure since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion, with an escalation in Moscow's long-range missile and drone strikes.
