CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.80
Russian missile and drone strike killed at least 14 people and wounded about 60 in Kyiv and surrounding region on July 6.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because Russia has resumed hitting Ukraine's grid substations heading into a war-strained year and just opened a new front across the Oskil river near Kupiansk, threatening both civilian heat and a fresh Ukrainian defensive collapse.
