Russia\u2019s Foreign Ministry has claimed that attacks allegedly carried out by Ukrainian armed forces between June 29 and July 5 killed 38 civilians and injured 270 others.<\/p>\n

According to a weekly report released by Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry\u2019s ambassador-at-large, the total number of civilian casualties during the period reached 308. He said eight children were among those injured and that an infant was among those killed. The Russian side also claimed that at least 4,917 munitions and unmanned aerial vehicles were used against civilian areas and infrastructure over the seven-day period.

Miroshnik released photographs relating to 10 reported incidents as what he described as evidence, alleging that residential buildings, civilian vehicles, a market, a medical facility and emergency personnel had been targeted. The incidents listed in the report allegedly involved drones and mortar fire.<\/p>\n

On June 29, a mortar strike on an apartment building in Kakhovka, Kherson Region, wounded one civilian, according to the Russian account. On the same day, a drone strike on a civilian car in Oktyabrsky, Belgorod Region, injured two people, while another drone reportedly struck a civilian truck parking area in Svatovo.<\/p>\n

On June 30, a drone allegedly struck a civilian truck parking area in Donetsk. Miroshnik said emergency personnel who arrived to extinguish the resulting fire were then targeted in a repeated drone attack, killing one rescuer and wounding three others.

The Russian side also claimed that a fixed-wing drone struck a private house in Yegoryevsk, Moscow Region, on the same day, killing a six-month-old baby and injuring another child and two adults.<\/p>\n

In Nizhneye Beryozovo-Vtoroye, Belgorod Region, an FPV drone strike on a civilian vehicle reportedly killed one person and wounded another.<\/p>\n

On July 3, a drone allegedly struck a paramedic and midwifery station in Semyonovka, Kherson Region. According to Miroshnik, another drone attack on a civilian truck travelling along the Starobelsk\u2013Belovodsk road killed one civilian and injured another.<\/p>\n

The same day, a drone strike on a market in Tokmak, Zaporozhye Region, killed five civilians and wounded 21 others, according to the Russian report. An FPV drone attack on a civilian car in Shebekino, Belgorod Region, also reportedly injured three people.<\/p>\n

The Russian side further alleged that passenger buses, ambulances, civilian transport, residential neighbourhoods, energy facilities and social infrastructure were targeted during the week.<\/p>\n

Miroshnik\u2019s office said the figures were compiled with the assistance of a Russian Foreign Ministry team and the Statistical Analysis Laboratory of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations.<\/p>\n

International humanitarian law prohibits deliberate attacks against civilians and civilian objects. Medical personnel, healthcare facilities and emergency workers are also entitled to special protection during armed conflict.<\/p>\n

However, no immediately available independent international confirmation has established responsibility or verified the circumstances of each incident described by Miroshnik. The account also did not include an official response from the Ukrainian government or armed forces. The casualty figures and allegations of responsibility should therefore be understood as official claims made by the Russian Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n
