Between June 7 and 14, Russian forces continued offensive actions across Ukraine, causing civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. On June 7, multiple explosions occurred in Russian-occupied Crimea, with initial reports indicating fires at oil depots near Kerch and Feodosia. Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed its air defenses intercepted drones. The subsequent day, a drone strike in Konotop, Sumy region, impacted a residential building, killing a 78-year-old woman and injuring three others. In Kherson, a 14-year-old boy sustained injuries from shelling in the Korabelny district, while a separate drone incident damaged balconies of a multi-story building in the Central district. The Sumy region also saw remote road mining, assaults on civilian transport, and disruptions to essential services like electricity and water throughout the week.
