This figure includes 1,470 casualties reported from the preceding day. Ukraine has not disclosed its own military losses, citing operational secrecy.
Civilian casualties in Ukraine experienced a nearly one-third increase in July, reaching the highest level observed since May 2022, according to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission. The UN attributes the majority of these deaths to Russia's deployment of long-range missiles, drones, and glide bombs, which frequently targeted urban centers situated far from the active front lines.
Over the preceding day, Russian forces conducted attacks across Ukraine, utilizing 133 drones and loitering munitions. These strikes, recorded at 11 distinct locations, resulted in the deaths of at least four individuals and injuries to 60 others. In a separate incident, Ukraine targeted the Ust-Luga port in Russia's Leningrad Oblast, damaging two processing plants and causing a fire. This action against a significant oil export hub occurred as Russia reportedly rejected a grain truce and continued its strikes on Ukrainian ports.
The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission tracks civilian casualties, noting a substantial rise in July. The nature of the attacks, involving long-range weaponry and targeting urban areas, contributed to the elevated casualty figures. Ukraine's General Staff continues to provide daily updates on Russian troop losses, a metric they have consistently reported throughout the conflict.
