Significance

On 1 July 2022, Russian missiles struck a residential building and a recreational center in Serhiivka, Odesa Oblast, killing at least 21 people. The attack was part of a broader Russian campaign of missile strikes against civilian infrastructure and populated areas across Ukraine during the full-scale invasion. The regional authorities declared 2 July a day of mourning. The strike on a residential and recreational site, rather than a military target, drew international attention to the pattern of attacks on civilian areas in southern Ukraine.
