Most of the victims had shrapnel wounds and cut wounds. One man is in a coma, another has damaged lungs. In total, 13 people were hospitalized in Voronezh.

Russia and Ukraine regularly attack each other with drones. Thus, on the night of July 4 , Ukrainian drones attacked Udmurtia, the Rostov region and the Moscow region. As a result of the attacks, one person was killed and two were injured. On the same day, Russia attacked Ukraine with 550 drones. This was the most massive strike during the entire full-scale war, but less than a week later Russia set a new anti-record. On the night of July 9, it attacked Ukraine using 728 drones, seven Kh-101/Iskander-K cruise missiles and six Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles.
