A Russian drone strike hits a home in northern Ukraine, killing a 29-year-old woman and her 9-year-old son, according to officials cited by multiple outlets. The reports describe jet-powered drones striking the residence on Friday.
The attack is reported alongside broader figures on civilian harm. Several sources note that it comes a day after the United Nations says July is the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since the early weeks following Russia’s all-out invasion in February 2022. Outlets largely present the incident as part of a wider pattern of rising civilian casualties, with differences mostly in phrasing and the specific emphasis on the timing of the UN statement.
