Russian forces hit a hospital in Kherson and destroyed a mail depot in Donetsk Oblast during widespread drone attacks that injured at least 14 civilians across three regions.

Ukraine’s air defenses shot down 79 of 118 incoming threats on the night of 2 July. Russian forces launched 4 S-300 missiles and 114 Iranian-designed Shahed drones, according to Ukraine’s Air Forces. Enemy drones found their targets at 14 locations.

Kherson: Artillery hits hospital late in the evening

Russian gunners targeted Kherson Regional Hospital during evening hours when patients would be sleeping. The 11 p.m. artillery strike wounded eight people—five patients recovering from other conditions, plus three nurses on duty.

A 44-year-old hospital worker took shrapnel to the chest and needed surgery. Two other medical staff, ages 54 and 44, were treated and released. Four patients remain hospitalized: men aged 58 and 60, women aged 64 and 57. All suffered blast injuries and shrapnel wounds.

The building tells the story. More than 100 windows blown out. Patient wards destroyed. Facade cracked from the explosion.

Oleksandr Prokudin, who runs Kherson’s regional administration, reported 10 people wounded across the area in 24 hours. Russian forces hit apartment buildings, private homes, farms, and vehicles throughout the day.

Donetsk Oblast: Mail service disrupted in Sloviansk

Shahed drones leveled Nova Poshta’s sorting facility in Sloviansk, eliminating 300 packages but sparing 5,000 others. No workers died as the terminal was likely empty during night operations.

“We are restructuring package sorting and logistics, but delays in shipments from Sloviansk are possible,” Nova Poshta announced. The company will pay compensation to affected customers.

Here’s the broader impact: Sloviansk serves as a logistics hub for eastern Ukraine. Disrupting mail delivery affects everything from medicine shipments to family communications.

Kharkiv: Drones torch agricultural targets

Russian operators steered drones into farm buildings in two villages near the front line. Warehouse fires erupted in Borivske and Volska Balakliia after direct hits on agricultural enterprises.

Why target farms? Ukraine feeds much of the world. Destroying grain storage and farming equipment creates food shortages months later.

Three people were injured in the agricultural strikes, according to preliminary reports.

In Kharkiv city itself, a drone hit an abandoned building that caught fire across 300 square meters. The blast damaged a car repair shop, apartment building, and bus stop nearby. No casualties reported there.

Russia continues targeting civilian infrastructure, such as hospitals, postal services, and farms, rather than military positions. The strategy appears designed to make daily life unbearable for Ukrainian civilians.
