Russian attacks against Ukraine over the past day killed at least four people and injured at least 42, regional authorities said on July 2.

In Donetsk Oblast, Russian attacks killed four people and injured 27, Governor Vadym Filashkin reported.

Two civilians were reportedly killed in the town of Ukrainsk, and two others in Novodmytrivka and Selydove.

Thirteen people were also injured in Ukrainsk, four in Novodmytrivka, three in Selydove, three in Sukha Balka, and one in Niu-York, Kurakhivka, Komar, and Zarichne each, according to the governor.

In Kharkiv Oblast, a Russian strike against the town of Pivdenne on the evening of July 1 injured four people, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

An attack against a wheat field near the village of Karasivka resulted in a fire, with Syniehubov calling it a purposeful attempt to destroy the harvest.

A school, a kindergarten, a medical institution, a church, a farm, and other buildings were hit.
