Summary
Russia unleashed its most devastating aerial assault of 2026 on June 1-2, firing 73 cruise missiles and 656 drones at Ukrainian cities including Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv, killing at least 22 civilians and injuring 138. Ukrainian defenses intercepted 40 missiles and 602 drones, but the overwhelming scale still caused catastrophic damage. In Dnipro, a drone strike on a residential building prompted a day of mourning, signaling a troubling shift in Russian strategy—targeting civilians as a grim tactic to compensate for stalled ground advances. Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War link the surge in attacks directly to battlefield setbacks, revealing a dangerous escalation that underscores the human cost of war.
