Frontline situation
Ukrainian forces have established fire control over the Russian-occupied city of Horlivka in the Donetsk region. The city is located about 35-40 kilometers from Ukrainian positions. While the enemy was previously able to move around there relatively freely, its vehicles are now being hit regularly.
Moreover, Ukraine's military struck the Elastik gunpowder plant in Russia's Ryazan region, the Svetlyak-class patrol vessel, and enemy warehouses on June 3 and overnight into June 4. Ukrainian drones struck the border patrol ship Svetlyak of Project 10410 in the settlement of Yurkine (Crimea).
