A woman was killed and six others were wounded in a missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rig, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region said on Sunday. Russian forces have conducted near‑daily missile and drone strikes across Ukraine since the full‑scale invasion began in 2022. A Spanish F‑18 fighter jet on a NATO air‑policing mission shot down a drone that entered Romanian airspace, the fourth such incident this year; the Defence Ministry did not identify the drone’s origin. Authorities in Kyiv reported a ballistic missile attack late Saturday that wounded one person and sparked fires at non‑residential sites in the Obolonsky and Holosiivskyi districts. Moscow officials said they intercepted more than 100 drones targeting the capital overnight, wounding three people. Ukrainian officials stated that long‑range strikes target military, industrial and logistical facilities inside Russia, describing the actions as a response to Russian bombardments. The United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission reported that civilian casualties in Ukraine reached their highest level since 2022, with at least 437 killed and 2,610 injured in July. The incident highlights the expanding geographic scope of the conflict and the continued airspace tensions involving NATO members.
