Russia’s military says it shot down hundreds of Ukrainian drones overnight as Kyiv continued to target Russian energy sites. The latest attacks targeted ships and a port on the Sea of Azov and sparked a fire at a major oil refinery in southern Russia. This follows a Russian drone strike on a gas station in Zaporizhzhia that killed one person and injured three others — one of dozens of attacks across civilian areas of Ukraine on Thursday.

At the United Nations, the Security Council heard testimony Thursday that Russian attacks in June killed at least 265 Ukrainian civilians, while leaving more than 1,800 injured. That’s the highest combined casualty count since the first months of Russia’s full-scale invasion four years ago. Meanwhile, Russian authorities report Ukrainian attacks have killed 250 Russian civilians in the first six months of the year. This is U.N. political affairs chief Rosemary DiCarlo.

Rosemary DiCarlo: “Any attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, wherever they occur, are a clear violation of international humanitarian law and must stop immediately.”
