All 25 Russian Shahed drones shot down by Ukraine in overnight attack
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.
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.
