On the evening of June 3, Russian forces launched new wave of strikes on Ukrainian military facilities. At the moment, air alert was declared in the Zaporozhie, Donetsk and Dnepropetrovsk regions.
The targets were hit in the city of Dnipro (former Dnepropetrovsk) and in Slavyansk in the DPR which is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to preliminary reports, the strikes were carried out with Iskander-M missiles.
Ukrainian media showed footage from the city of Dnipro, confirming that at least one facility was destroyed. It was not revealed what was the target but judging by the footage there were a lot of Ukrainian servicemen in the area. Most likely, Ukrainian forces were accommodated there.
Local residents shared videos showing that some shelters were closed during the attack and civilians could not hide there:
Smoke is also seen rising over the city of Slavyansk, where another military facility of the AFU was likely destroyed:
