Ukraine Invasion Day 832: UKR forces recently advanced within Vovchansk [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2024-06-03  

Ukrainian forces struck a Russian S-300/400 air defense battery in Belgorod Oblast likely w/ HIMARS on June 1 or 2.

Geolocated imagery published on June 3 shows two destroyed launchers and a damaged command post of a Russian S-300/400 air defense system in a field east of Kiselyovo (just north of Belgorod City).[1] Russian sources widely speculated that Ukrainian forces used US-provided HIMARS, but Ukrainian officials have yet to comment on the strike.[2] The S-300/400 air defense system was located roughly 60 kilometers from the current frontline in northern Kharkiv Oblast and over 80 kilometers from Kharkiv City, which is within the range of HIMARS but exceeds the range of other MLRS systems that Ukrainian forces reportedly use to conduct strikes into Belgorod Oblast.[3] Russian sources have increasingly claimed that Ukrainian forces are using HIMARS to strike Belgorod Oblast since the US partially lifted its restrictions on Ukraine's ability to use US-provided weapons to strike military targets in Russian border areas with Kharkiv Oblast.[4] Russian sources will likely continue to characterize any successful strike in Belgorod Oblast as a HIMARS strike regardless of the system used.

Ukraine's Southern Operational Command stated that Russian forces struck port infrastructure in Odesa City with a ballistic missile on June 2.[80]

Russian forces launched a guided glide bomb strike against Dachne and Slobozhanske, Kharkiv Oblast (about 40km southeast of Kharkiv City) on June 3, damaging civilian infrastructure.[81]
