Ukraine has been hit by a fresh wave of Russian missile and drone strikes, with Kharkiv suffering multiple attacks overnight. In Kharkiv, nine Shahed drones and two missiles struck the city, injuring a 30-year-old man and sparking fires across the Novobavarskyi district, including at a private house, an auto repair shop, and several industrial facilities, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov and regional head Oleh Syniehubov.

A postal terminal on the outskirts of the city was also hit, triggering a massive fire that engulfed two warehouses and surrounding containers. Meanwhile, in Sumy, authorities reported several strikes on June 3, including drone and artillery attacks that damaged civilian infrastructure and heightened fears of further escalation. Emergency services continue working at multiple sites as officials assess the full scale of the damage. The attack is likely to be further revenge ordered by Vladimir Putin for Ukrainian drone strikes on airports across Russia at the weekend.
