A daytime wave of Russian missiles struck Kyiv and other cities, and the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission verified at least 43 civilians killed, including five children, and 147 injured, saying it made July the deadliest month for civilians since October 2022. [1] The cause of the damage to Kyiv's Okhmatdyt children's hospital is disputed: the mission's head Danielle Bell said a direct hit by a Kh-101 missile was highly likely, while Russia's UN envoy Vassily Nebenzia said it was a Ukrainian air defence missile. [1] Kyiv also faced its largest drone attack of the year, with about 11,500 people sheltering in metro stations, while WHO recorded attacks on health facilities in Kherson and elsewhere. [1][2] On the front, Russian forces took Prohres on the Pokrovsk axis, according to the mapping project DeepState, and Ukraine's southern command said most of its positions in Krynky on the Dnipro left bank were destroyed. [1][2] The Krasnodar governor said a drone attack on a ferry at Port Kavkaz killed one person, and Romania said fragments of a Russian drone landed on its territory across the Danube from Izmail. [1][2] A NATO summit called Ukraine's path to membership irreversible and set a 40 billion euro aid baseline, which Dmitry Medvedev answered by saying the path should end with the disappearance of Ukraine or NATO. [1] In Europe, incendiary parcels ignited at DHL facilities in Germany and the UK, incidents in which Russia was suspected, according to the Guardian as recorded by the Leiden dataset. [1][2]
