In the Belgorod region, a Ukrainian drone struck a Russian Mi-28 attack helicopter

On the night of 15 July, the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Command announced that it had struck 20 Russian vessels in the Black Sea. Robert ‘Madyar’ Brovdi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, also reported on the results of strikes against vessels over the past ten days.

During Russian ballistic missile attacks, air raid sirens in Ukraine may sometimes sound only after the explosions have taken place, or, conversely, the danger may be announced but no missiles are actually launched.

The US military carried out a new series of strikes on Iranian military targets, which lasted seven hours. US President Donald Trump stated that the attacks would continue until Tehran returned to the negotiating table.

Ukrainian strikes in the waters of the Sea of Azov, which have hit more than 100 Russian vessels over the past nine days, have paralysed operations at the ports of Azov and Taman, through which millions of tonnes of Russian grain were being exported.

On the night of 15 July, Russian troops launched strikes on several regions of Ukraine. The attacks resulted in fatalities, with dozens injured, and caused damage to residential buildings, infrastructure and businesses.
