All 25 Shahed one-way attack drones launched overnight from Cape Chauda in temporarily occupied Crimea, and from Russia’s Primorsk-Akhtarsk and Yeysk districts, were shot down, Ukraine’s Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk reported on Telegram on June 2.
Drones were intercepted over the Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kherson, Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, and Vinnytsia oblasts by a joint effort of mobile fire groups, air defense and electronic warfare units, supported by fighter aircraft.
The enemy also attacked Ukraine’s Kharkiv Oblast with an Iskander-K cruise missile fired from Crimea and an S-300 anti-aircraft guided missile launched from the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk Oblast.
The night before, on June 1, Ukraine was attacked by a total of 53 Russian missiles and 47 drones targeting energy facilities in at least five oblasts, causing rolling blackouts across the country.
