At least 10 people were killed in Ukrainian attacks on Russia and Moscow-occupied territory, local officials said on Friday (July 4, 2026), as Ukraine reported five killed in Russian attacks.

The exchange of deadly strikes comes a day after Russia unleashed an overnight pummelling — one of the worst of the conflict — on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, leaving at least 30 dead.

On Friday (July 4, 2026), a Ukrainian strike on a market in the Russian-occupied part of the southern Zaporizhzhia region killed five people, the Kremlin-appointed governor said.

“This is a strike against civilian life — against people who had come to buy groceries,” Yevgeny Balitsky said on Telegram.

He earlier said three people had been killed in separate attacks in the region.

Two other people died in strikes on Russia’s western Belgorod and Bryansk regions, both bordering Ukraine, officials said.

Ukraine, meanwhile, reported a strike on its northeastern region of Sumy that set a house ablaze and killed four people — including a toddler.

“Sadly, two women, an elderly man, and a small child — a girl not yet two years old — were killed. The Russian strike took her life along with her mother’s,” the head of the Sumy regional military administration, Oleg Grygorov, said on Telegram.

Three more people were wounded in the attack.

One person was killed and five wounded in the central eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, regional military administration head Oleksandr Ganzha said on Telegram.

Kyiv’s air force said on Friday that Russia launched two missiles and 105 drones at Ukraine overnight.

Russia meanwhile shot down 155 Ukrainian drones overnight from Thursday (July 2, 2026) to Friday (Juy 3, 2026) over its regions and annexed Crimea, according to the Russian Defence Ministry.

On Thursday (July 2, 2026), Russia unleashed one of the most intense drone and missile attacks to hit the Ukrainian capital since the start of its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

At least 30 people were killed in Kyiv, according to a toll provided Friday (July 3, 2026) by rescue services.

Russian drones killed one person and wounded two dozen others in cities across Ukraine, local authorities announced on Monday (June 1, 2026), as Kyiv and Moscow step up long-range strikes with peace talks stalling.

One person was killed in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson and eight people were wounded in the northern town of Chernigiv, where power was cut to 10,000 people, authorities said.

Emergency services published images from Chernigiv showing teams of firefighters dousing a large blaze in the middle of the night following the attacks.

The Ukrainian air force said Russian forces had launched 265 combat drones in the barrage, and that its air defence units had downed 228 of the unmanned aerial vehicles.

Seven people were wounded in Russian strikes in the Black Sea port city of Odesa, four more in the central city of Kharkiv, one in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia and at least two more were hurt in Kherson.

Moscow launches attacks almost nightly on Ukraine, which has stepped up its retaliatory strikes in recent months, mainly targeting Russian energy infrastructure.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine launched in February 2022 has become the bloodiest conflict in Europe since World War II, killing hundreds of thousands of people and displacing millions.
