Russia’s Massive Attack on Ukraine on June 2, 2026

Rescue operations continue following Russia’s large-scale overnight attack on Ukraine. In the Dnipro region, 12 people were killed, including two children and a rescuer who died in a repeated Russian strike while responding to the aftermath of the attack. At least 37 people were injured, including four children.

In Kyiv, four people were killed and at least 64 injured. Residential buildings and civilian infrastructure were damaged across several districts of the capital.

This morning, Russian forces struck a residential area in Sumy, injuring three people and damaging an apartment building.

Overall, Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles of various types against Ukraine overnight. Without stronger protection against ballistic missiles and other aerial threats, these attacks will continue. Ukraine needs additional Patriot missiles and stronger support from its partners to protect lives and stop Russia’s terror.
