Summary
Russian missiles and drones struck Ukraine overnight on June 29, killing at least eight people and wounding 29. In Dnipro, a missile hit a private business, killing five and injuring 29. In Zaporizhzhia, a drone struck a passenger minibus, killing three adults and wounding seven, including a seven-year-old child. Strikes also cut power to customers in eight Ukrainian regions. President Zelenskyy condemned the attacks and called on allies to supply additional air-defence systems.
Why it matters
The strikes follow Russia's mass barrage on June 26 and fit the pattern of escalating summer strikes on civilian infrastructure and transport. Zaporizhzhia, near the front line, and Dnipro, a major logistics hub, are consistent Russian targets as Moscow presses the summer offensive.
What to watch
- Updated casualty counts from regional administrations.
- Ukraine's overnight drone response targeting Russian territory.
- Whether Zelenskyy's air-defence call produces new commitments ahead of the July 7-8 NATO Ankara summit.
