At noon on June 2, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) struck the city of Berdyansk in the Zaporozhye region, which is under Russian control. At least three explosions were heard in the city. Two of them were, presumably, the sound of work of Russian air defence systems.
As a result of the attack, a missile hit the sea port in the city of Berdyansk. According to the local authorities, at least nine civilians were wounded. They weer taken to the hospital. There is still no information about the wounded.
According to preliminary data, the AFU used long-range Storm Shadow missiles which were supplied by London. However, the reports are yet to be officially confirmed.
