Shelling of the Dnieper July 1
On the night of July 1, the Russian army attacked the Dnieper with ballistic weapons, as a result of which seven people were injured.
According to the Dnepropetrovsk OVA, among them — 15 year old boy. One woman was hospitalized in a medical facility, the rest — will be treated on an outpatient basis.
In Dnieper, a store in a residential area was damaged, roofs and windows in private and multi-storey buildings were broken.
At the site of a destroyed high-rise building, rescuers are clearing away the rubble. About 65% of the work has already been completed there, OVA noted.

Demining the Black Sea
A joint operation of Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria to clear mines in the Black Sea has started. Countries are seeking to improve shipping safety, particularly for Ukrainian grain exports.
According to Bloomberg, from July 2 the group will begin to carry out tasks to clear mines in the Black Sea.
The three states will attract patrol and demining ships, helicopters and drones.
Other NATO countries may join the operation to clear mines drifting in certain parts due to the full-scale invasion.

Air bombs falling on Russian territory
Over the year, about 38 Russian glider bombs fell on the territory of the Belgorod region as a result of the actions of the Russian Federation, which launched shells to attack Ukraine.
According to The Washington Post, citing internal documents of the Russian Federation, we are talking about the period from April 2023 to April 2024, during which powerful glider bombs fell in the region.
As journalists note, most of the KABs did not detonate in Russia, but the shells were found by civilians. Among them — farmers, foresters or residents of villages near Belgorod.
Blackout in the Belgorod region
After a drone attack, a blackout occurred in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation. The power outage affected about 90% of the region's residents. The traffic lights didn't work there and there were problems with the Internet connection.

Due to power outages in the Belgorod region, delays and disruptions occurred in passenger transportation on public transport.
According to official sources, the blackout was caused due to external influence on the power facility.
However, journalists claim that the blackout occurred after an attack by drones and the detonation of improvised explosive devices at a substation.
