Ukraine Strikes Svetlyak-Class Patrol Ship in Occupied Crimea + Gunpowder Plant Inside Russia — Day 1,561

| Ukraine War

On June 4, 2026 — Day 1,561 of Russia's full-scale invasion — Ukrainian forces conducted multiple overnight offensive operations against Russian military targets. Ukrainian forces struck and damaged a Russian Svetlyak-class border patrol ship in occupied Crimea, continuing Ukraine's sustained campaign to degrade Russia's Black Sea and coastal fleet assets. Separately, Ukrainian drones struck a gunpowder plant and military storage facilities inside Russian territory. These strikes were part of the continuous retaliatory operations Ukraine has maintained throughout June 2026 even as its cities and civilian infrastructure endure Russian mass barrages. Combined with the June 3 strikes on St. Petersburg's oil terminal and the corvette Boikiy at Kronstadt, and the June 2 strikes on the Ilsky refinery and Pantsir-S1 system, Ukraine has maintained a high operational tempo of deep-strike missions into Russian-controlled territory throughout the first week of June 2026.
