A Russian drone strike on a home in Ukraine's Sumy region killed a 29-year-old woman and her nine-year-old son, with four others wounded, including family members. The attack occurred amid reports from the UN that July was the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since the 2022 invasion, with at least 437 killed and 2,610 wounded.
