Following the localised collapse of Ukrainian defences in May that led to the current deteriorating situation in Kostyantynivka, Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi dismissed the commanders of the 28th Mechanised Brigade and the 156th Mechanised Brigade.

According to @Thorkill65, the Commander of the 28th Brigade commanded the entire Kostyantynivka defence grouping, which includes all units currently fighting in the city.

On the other hand, the 156th brigade was responsible for holding the Illinivka area, which was where one of the 2 main breaches into Kostyantynivka occurred. Reportedly, this breach into the city occurred due to poorly organised reconnaissance drone operations and a lack of FPV drones allocated to the 156th brigade for strike operations. Additionally, the 156th reportedly had too many poorly trained soldiers that should've been assigned to older brigades, according to a company commander of the brigade.

Furthermore, the status of various positions and strongpoints in and around Kostyantynivka, as well as on neighbouring directions, is being checked, as it is suspected that yet another case of commanders lying to higher-ups about Ukraine holding certain areas taking place. This could explain why Deepstate's map is so behind in this sector.

We could see the next combined Russian missile and drone attack take place on Ukraine tonight.

Currently, Russia has concentrated 5 Tu-95MS strategic bombers at Olenya Airbase which are equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. Additionally, 2-3 Tu-160M strategic bombers are equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Ukrainka Airbase in the far east.

2 Admiral Makarov/Essen frigates are equipped with up to 16 Kalibr cruise missiles in total at Novorossiysk Naval Base, Krasnodar Krai.

Iskander-M ballistic missiles have been delivered to OTRK installations in Crimea, Rostov Oblast, Voronezh Oblast, Kursk Oblast, and Bryansk Oblast.

Iskander-K cruise missiles have been delivered to OTRK installations in Kursk Oblast. Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles have also likely been deployed to ground-based launchers near Manurovo, Kursk Oblast.

Up to 6 MiG-31K fighters remain equipped with Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles at Savasleika Airbase, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.

I put the chances of an attack taking place tomorrow at approximately 50%. It was initially delayed due to training missions in the far east. I’ll write more about the regions with the highest threats of being targeted later.

The AR-327 Commander radar, located at the top of Jabal al-Dukhan in Bahrain, was destroyed by an Iranian strike.

The radar formally belonged to the Bahraini Air Force, but was integrated into the regional early warning network of the US and its allies, providing data for the operations of the US Navy's 5th Fleet in the Persian Gulf.

According to available information, the AR-327 radar is capable of detecting targets at a distance of up to 470 km and at an altitude of up to 30 km, and its location at 134 meters above sea level allowed it to operate with maximum efficiency.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 CNN, citing five sources familiar with U.S. intelligence:

Iran has started dispersing its highly enriched uranium stockpile, collapsing some tunnel entrances, and placing mines and booby-traps inside the well-protected underground facilities.

The moves are aimed at significantly complicating the process of accessing and retrieving the material.

This would make it much more time consuming for Iran to downblend the enriched material, should a deal with the U.S. be reached, buying time for Iran to covertly resume enrichment.

It would also make any special military operation to retrieve the uranium extremely dangerous and risky.

According to data collected by the NYT, Russia has increased the number of ballistic missiles launched from 74 in 2023 to nearly 600 in 2025. This year, Russia has already fired 410 ballistic missiles at Ukraine, which amounts to approximately 900 missiles per year, if the Russian Armed Forces can maintain this pace.

At the same time, Lockheed Martin, the company that manufactures the PAC-3 anti-aircraft missile system, stated that it delivered a total of 620 such missiles worldwide last year.

Over the past three years since acquiring its first Patriot system, Ukraine has received more than 1,600 missiles for it, said Colonel Ignat, including both PAC-3 and the previous generation of PAC-2 missiles.

New high-resolution satellite imagery reveals that a recent Iranian missile/drone strike destroyed an ASR-1000L tactical air surveillance radar at the U.S. Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait.

The main Ukrainian stronghold in eastern Kostyantynivka has now come under operational encirclement by Russian forces.

After Ukrainian forces mostly withdrew from the western suburbs, Russian forces managed to break through Ukrainian defences in the so-called "Historical Centre" of northern Kostyantynivka, reaching the highway running through the city from the northeast, thereby blocking the last escape route for Ukrainian forces stationed further east.

This corridor remains a grey-zone, where Russian and Ukrainian soldiers hold overlapping positions, however it will be difficult to withdraw Ukrainian forces from the eastern part of the city now.

Elsewhere, Russian forces continue their assault operations, with soldiers infiltrating into the Novoselivka District in the northwestern part of the city. Russian DRGs are already operating on the highway into Kostyantynivka, however Ukraine continues to funnel additional reinforcements in, likely to secure withdrawal routes. Supply is now being carried out mostly with UAVs and ground drones.

Meanwhile, heavy fighting continues near the railway station, the city cemetery, the northern private sector, Lomonosova Street (northwestern suburbs), and the former chemical plant. The situation remains critical for Ukraine as the remaining defences in the city collapse.

Hezbollah has released footage showing a drone directly hitting a group of Israel Defense Forces soldiers in the eastern part of the Zefat suburb in southern Lebanon on June 2nd.
