Russia launched a series of missile and drone attacks across Ukraine on July 4th, targeting Kyiv and other cities. In Kyiv, a residential building was hit, causing a fire, though casualties appear minimal. Drone debris also fell in other districts. Elsewhere, drone strikes in Poltava injured two people. These attacks follow a Putin-Trump phone call where Putin reiterated Russia's commitment to its goals in Ukraine. Ukrainian officials warn the attacks aim to deplete defenses and terrorize civilians.
