Extensive wave of 'Shahed' UAV attacks on targets in Ukraine
During the night of July 2, 2026, air activity monitoring channels in Ukraine reported a significant wave of attacks using 'Shahed' unmanned aerial vehicles. According to eРадар, a channel focused on monitoring air alerts and missile threats, launches of about 20 individual groups of UAVs were detected from the Kursk and Oryol regions of Russia.
Simultaneously, the Telegram channel Київський купол, which deals with air defense monitoring and reporting on enemy movements, confirmed the information and updated that "additional Shahed launches were carried out" from the same locations. Both channels are associated with the Ukrainian civilian intelligence community, which aims to provide real-time alerts to citizens under fire.
The reports highlight the high intensity of the current attack, which is based on the extensive use of UAV swarms in an attempt to exhaust local air defense systems. As of this hour, no official details have been provided regarding damage or interceptions, but residents of the relevant regions were instructed to enter protected spaces following the alerts that were spread across large areas of the country.
