Russian attacks continue across Ukraine, causing civilian casualties and infrastructure damage

Russian forces continued offensive operations across Ukraine between June 7 and 14, causing civilian casualties in Sumy and Kherson, and damaging infrastructure in Crimea and the Sumy region.

Between June 7 and 14, Russian forces maintained offensive operations across Ukraine, leading to civilian harm and damage to infrastructure. On June 7, reports emerged of explosions in Russian-occupied Crimea, with fires reportedly affecting oil depots near Kerch and Feodosia. Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed its air defenses intercepted drones over the peninsula. The subsequent day, a drone strike in Konotop, Sumy region, hit a five-story residential building, resulting in one fatality and three injuries. In Kherson, shelling in the Korabelny district wounded a 14-year-old boy, while a separate drone incident damaged balconies of a multi-story building in the Central district. Throughout the week, the Sumy region also faced remote road mining, attacks on civilian transport, and interruptions to essential services like electricity and water. Sources: Suspilne Novyny
