At least two people were killed overnight in Ukraine by Russian drone and missile strikes, following a deadly shopping mall attack in Kryvyi Rih that killed 16 people. Russia's forces have intensified ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv infrastructure, while Ukraine has retaliated with long-range drone strikes against oil facilities in the Samara region.

Ukraine has experienced recent Russian drone and missile attacks, resulting in multiple casualties. The country suffered a deadly shopping mall strike in Kryvyi Rih that killed 16 people, while Kyiv's railway infrastructure was also hit by missiles. These strikes have prompted Ukraine to target Russian facilities, including an oil refinery in the Samara region.

Ukraine conducted one of its largest aerial attacks on Russia, using drones to target military industries and civilian infrastructure, such as Wildberries depots. In response, Russian strikes killed people in Ukrainian regions like Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi Rih. Separately, Romania's Ministry of National Defense reported shooting down a drone that entered the NATO member's airspace.

A Russian attack on Kyiv overnight killed one person and wounded 16, with 41 missiles and 125 drones targeting military sites. Fires damaged multiple districts, and Russia claims to have struck facilities producing drones and missiles, while U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned potential licenses for Ukraine to produce Patriot missiles.

Russia's Ministry of Defense has proposed a localized ceasefire in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, scheduled for July 6, to transfer Ukrainian soldiers' bodies. The proposal coincides with Russia's false claims of full control over the city, with Kyiv requested to respond by July 5.

Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack targeting multiple Russian regions, Crimea, and surrounding seas, with Russia's Ministry of Defense reporting interception of 660 drones. The attack followed a prior record of 556 drones in May, and a prisoner exchange involving 160 individuals from each side was reported. Ukraine's air force claimed to have downed 174 of 189 Russian drones, but four Iskander-M missiles breached defenses.
