Overnight explosions rock cities across six Russian oblasts
A series of overnight explosions in Russia’s Lipetsk, Kursk, Ryazan, and Voronezh oblasts were reported by local Telegram channels on June 2, posting photos and videos of drone attacks.
At least ten explosions shook the administrative city of Lipetsk.
Several fires broke out in Kursk. Acting regional Governor Alexander Khinstein
claimed that debris from an intercepted drone fell on private houses and a garage, setting them on fire. One of the drones allegedly hit an apartment building.
Voronezh Oblast Governor Alexander Gusev claimed that several drones had been "shot down" as they approached the administrative center.
The Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have “intercepted and destroyed” 162 drones, including 57 over Kursk Oblast, 31 over Belgorod Oblast, 27 over Lipetsk Oblast, 16 over Voronezh Over, 11 over Bryansk and Ryazan oblasts. Several drones were reportedly shot down over Orel and Tambov oblasts, and the occupied Crimean Peninsula.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
