Russian Drone Strike Kills Woman and Child Amid Rising Civilian Casualties in Ukraine
Russian jet-powered drones struck a home in northern Ukraine's Sumy region, killing a 29-year-old woman and her nine-year-old son, and injuring four others. The attack occurred amid a surge in civilian casualties, with the United Nations reporting July as the deadliest month since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. At least 437 civilians were killed and 2,610 wounded last month, marking a sharp increase in violence. Additional strikes, including a glide bomb attack in Donetsk, caused further casualties as fighting continues.
