Ukrainian authorities said Russia hit civilian targets in the towns of Slovyansk and Samar on July 13, but the strikes came amid a relative lull in reported attacks ahead of what US President Donald Trump said would be "major statement" on the conflict.
The military administration in Slovyansk, in eastern Ukraine, said there were casualties including a 13-year-old boy as Russian shelling hit residential areas.
They did not immediately provide further details.
In Samar, 170 kilometers to the west, authorities said a school building and residences were hit. There was no immediate official confirmation of media reports of casualties.
Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that its inspectors heard "hundreds of rounds of small arms fire" near the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant overnight.
The attacks came as Ukraine passed the first night in some two months without a mass drone attack by Russia, although the skies were not entirely calm.
A Ukrainian Air Force statement on July 13 said Russia had launched 60 Shahed attack UAVs and decoy drones of various types over the previous 24 hours.
The scale of the attack was much smaller than the kind of bombardment Ukraine has endured in recent weeks.

After ceasefire statement at the podium, first question:
“Mr. President, will this ceasefire affect your decision to ignore the client list controversy and the your support of Bondi?”
Whatever...
Likely just a coincidence. The levels of Russian attacks ebb and flow based on Battle Damage Assessment and developing new targets.
Thank you for your attention in this matter
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Enough!
The demoncrats are pushing this Epstein crap trying to fracture MAGA.
It’s time to give it a rest or those who need to know can go to Maxwell’s jail demonstrate in front of her cell.
There are more important issues to focus on.
No ceasefire, I think they are going to accept the Ukraine into NATO.
Nah, sanctuons.

Ukies decided to give major amounts of land to achieve Victory.
I don’t think that will happen.
Probably big sanctions that Lindsay Graham wanted for support of the BBB.
You wish.
Blaming Trump for Texas flooding didn’t work.

There was a big surge in attacks last week, so its not a surprise there is a lull now.
