Russia attacked Lozova with drones; children were among the casualties

On the night of July 2, Russian troops attacked a residential area of the city of Lozova with a strike drone. Six people were injured in the attack, including three children, and rescue workers freed five residents from a cellar.

According to rescue workers, a 10-year-old girl was hospitalized by an emergency medical team.

The other five victims, who also included children, suffered acute stress reactions.

At the time of the attack, the residents of the house were taking shelter.

“At the time of the strike, the residents were in the basement. The blast wave jammed the door, so they could not get out on their own. Rescuers freed and rescued five people, including two children,” the State Emergency Service reported. 

As a result of the Russian attack, two residential properties were damaged, a fire broke out, a residential building caught fire, and two passenger cars were destroyed by the flames.

Rescue workers quickly dealt with the aftermath of the strike and provided assistance to the victims. Russian shelling of civilian infrastructure in the Kharkiv region continues to pose a threat to the civilian population, particularly children.

This was reported by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

In addition, Russian troops carried out 880 strikes on 62 settlements in the Zaporizhzhia region over the past 24 hours. As a result of the massive attacks on Zaporizhzhia and the Zaporizhzhia district, 11 people were injured, including four children.

Over the past 24 hours, 273 combat engagements were recorded on the front lines. Ukrainian forces continue to repel the advance of Russian occupation forces, inflicting significant losses on the enemy in terms of personnel, equipment, and military infrastructure.

On the night of July 3, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with two X-59/69 guided air-to-ground missiles and 105 strike and decoy drones. Air defense forces destroyed or neutralized 83 aerial targets.

On the night of July 1, Russian troops launched a massive attack with strike drones on the Dnipropetrovsk region.

As a reminder, on the evening of June 30, Russian forces attacked an electric locomotive in the Dnipropetrovsk region with a drone. There were no casualties, as the locomotive crew was warned of the danger in time, and the workers managed to take cover.

Ukrainian drones struck eight of the ten largest Russian oil refineries by processing volume, with some facilities being hit multiple times.
