Duty air defense systems destroyed a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the territory of the Belgorod region.

22:46 Russian air defense systems shot down four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over the Belgorod region. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported this on Monday, June 3.

“At about 22:40 Moscow time, another attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type UAV on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped. On duty air defense systems destroyed four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles over the territory of the Belgorod region,” the message says.

21:35 Avdeevskoe direction. District settlement Umanskoe.

Applied strikes from 240mm mortars of special power 2S4 "Tulpan" on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

20:31 Military expert Boris Rozhin about the situation in the Ocheretinsky breakthrough zone in the Donetsk section of the Northern Military District.

Karlovka.

The RF Armed Forces advanced in the gardening partnership in the east, approaching the immediate outskirts of Karlovka itself and the Karlovka Reservoir.

The 59th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues to experience serious problems with the quality of personnel and the organization of sustainable defense. Having begun to retreat even before Netailovo, it continues to lose ground at Karlovka.

Yasnobrodovka.

The Russian Armed Forces advanced southeast of Yasnobrodovka, taking several landings. We haven’t entered Yasnobrodovka itself yet; the fighting is taking place not far from the outskirts.

Novopokrovskoe.

The Russian Armed Forces advanced from the northeast and east to the village. There is also tangible progress from Semyonovka. The village itself is still under enemy control.

Sokol.

The Russian Armed Forces are firmly entrenched in the village and are fighting to liberate it; the enemy is putting up serious resistance, trying to slow down the development of the offensive west of Ocheretino, where over the past 24 hours the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost a number of positions and landings. In Novoaleksandrovka, fighting continues in the south-eastern part of the village.

Kalinovo.

North of Ocheretino, the Russian Armed Forces slightly expanded the control zone in the direction of Kalinovo. Positions north of the outskirts of Arkhangelsk were also improved.

There is no serious progress in the direction of Rozovka yet.

In general, the Russian Armed Forces continue to maintain the operational initiative to the west and southwest of Ocheretino, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has transferred part of its operational reserves to the Khar'kov direction.

As the fighting in the northern part of the Khar'kov region drags on, tying up the reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in these battles will become increasingly critical. Hence the enemy’s attempts to speed up the resolution of this problem through offensive actions in the area of ??Volchansk and the village of Liptsy. So far, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not particularly successful at this.

20:15 Ugledar direction.

From lunch has begun a massive blow from our army. The VKS sent more than 50 KAB (various modifications), artillery and MLRS are working at full capacity, thousands of rounds are raining down on the enemy’s heads.

Towards evening, after a massive artillery barrage, our assault groups went forward in the Ugledar area. Significant forces are involved. At these moments, a powerful battle continues.

19:36 Artemovsk direction. (area of Chasov Yar settlement).

RF Armed Forces advanced deep into enemy positions at a distance of up to half a kilometer. The enemy also confirmed this on his resources.

18:54 Around 17.50 Moscow time suppressed another attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using aircraft-type UAVs against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.

On duty air defense systems destroyed a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the territory of the Belgorod region.

18:24 Donetsk direction.

15:15 Telegram channel "Fisherman":

Avdeevsky direction: advance of Russian troops on a wide sector of the front.

To the northwest of Avdievka, Russian troops systematically continue their offensive in a westerly direction, attacking simultaneously on several sectors of the front.

In the Arkhangelsk region, units of the Russian Armed Forces advanced north of the settlement, occupying an enemy stronghold and several forest belts to the east. At the same time, another large fortified area is under enemy control to the north-west of Arkhangelsk at a height beyond the Kalinov gully.

To the northwest of Ocheretino, Russian assault groups have entrenched themselves along several forest belts on the approaches to Novoaleksandrovka, on the eastern outskirts of which heavy fighting continues.

On the evening of June 2, unconfirmed information began to arrive about the capture of the village of Sokol, west of Solovyevo. In reality, Russian troops actually advanced towards the settlement and even carried out “reconnaissance in force”, reaching the center of the village, but later retreated back.

It was also possible to establish the configuration of the front line in other sectors: as a result of the latest attacks, the Russian Armed Forces significantly advanced towards Novopokrovsky, and also significantly expanded the zone of control in the direction of Skuchny at the Berdychi-Orlovka line.

For a long time, the situation in these areas was covered in the “fog of war” due to a shortage of objective control personnel. This is especially true in relation to the enemy, who was clearly in no hurry to demonstrate the results of competent actions of Russian troops in the conditions of the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the sector.

12:07 Situation on Chasov Yar direction.

The situation continues to be extremely difficult. Enemy resources confirm the loss of control over the southern and eastern parts of the Novy microdistrict, as well as over the holiday village and part of the railway. The assault continues. The exact front line in the city itself is still hidden by the fog of war.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are carrying out counterattack actions. They are trying in every possible way to retain urban development, both in the industrial zone and in high-rise buildings. To the south, our units reliably hold the Stupki Golubovskie-2 reserve and conduct reconnaissance in force, entering the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal. North of 200 Motorized Rifle Brigade continues to improve the tactical situation in Kalinovka and north of it.
