The attack began at around 23:30 on 2 June. The Russians used Shahed and other imitator drones from the directions of Kursk, Orel, Millerovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk and the temporarily occupied Crimea (Chauda).
The main targets of the enemy were Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Odesa and Donetsk regions. Aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare (EW) units, and mobile fire groups were involved in repelling the attack.
According to updated data:
- 60 drones were destroyed by firepower;
- 15 – suppressed by means of electronic warfare;
