Dobropillya Under Increasing Threat Of Air Strikes As Shopping Center Hit
This article was originally published by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and is reprinted with permission. Ukrainian population centers in the areas around Pokrovsk are feeling increasingly threatened as Russian forces appear to be moving beyond the Donetsk region frontline city. In Dobropillya, 30 kilometers to the north of Pokrovsk, locals report a spike in overnight drone attacks, and a Russian bomb struck a shopping center on July 16, killing at least three. Ukrainian leaders said a KAB-250 aerial bomb hit the retail complex while it was crowded with shoppers. Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, confirmed the deaths while saying that rescue efforts were ongoing to determine if survivors could be located under rubble. Authorities also said they are still assessing the extent of casualties. 'Now our rescuers are extinguishing the fire,' Filashkin told RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service. 'After that, we'll search the rubble and then we will have a clearer understanding of the casualties. All the wounded are receiving medical care.' All available resources were being deployed to respond to the attack, he said. 'Authorities, the police, the State Emergency Service — everyone is working on the spot to help the wounded and those people whose homes have been damaged as a result of the attack.' Attacks on Pokrovsk have been intensifying after months of Russian efforts to seize control of the city, a key logistics hub for the region. Dobropillya has, until recently, been spared from the same levels of bombardment and artillery shelling but is now seeing more and more air strikes, according to the Ukrainian military. A Ukrainian drone unit in the area recently told RFE/RL correspondent Borys Sachalko that he believes the Russians could be making efforts to bypass Pokrovsk to avoid costly urban fighting amid the ruins of the city as they continue to press forward from the east.

Russia launches massive overnight drone attack on Ukraine, killing 1
Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine overnight into Saturday with hundreds of drones, killing at least one person, part of a stepped-up bombing campaign that has dashed hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the more than 3-year-old war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted on X, saying Russia fired over 300 drones, along with more than 30 cruise missiles. One person died when Russian forces attacked the Black Sea port city of Odesa with more than 20 drones and a missile, the city's mayor, Hennadii Trukhanov, said Saturday on Telegram, while five people were rescued when a fire broke out in a residential high-rise building. According to Zelenskyy, six other people were wounded in the attack on Odesa, including a child, and critical infrastructure was damaged in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region. The Ukrainian president also thanked international leaders "who understand how important it is to promptly implement our agreements" aimed at boosting Ukraine's defense capabilities, including joint weapons production, drone manufacturing, and the supply of air defense systems. Russia has been intensifying its long-range attacks on Ukrainian cities. It now often batters Ukraine with more drones in a single night than it did during some entire months in 2024, and analysts say the barrages are likely to escalate. On July 8, Russia unleashed more than 700 drones — a record. Russia's Defense Ministry said it shot down 71 Ukrainian drones overnight into Saturday. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that 13 drones were shot down as they approached the Russian capital.
