On the night of July 1 (starting at 6:00 p.m. on June 30), the enemy launched an attack using an Iskander-M ballistic missile-M from Crimea, an X-59 guided air-to-ground missile from the Black Sea, and 151 strike UAVs of the Shahed, Gerber, and Italmas types, as well as “Parody”-type decoy drones, from the directions of Bryansk, Kursk, Millerovo, Orel, Primorsko-Akhtarsk—Russian Federation, temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk Oblast; and Gvardeyskoye—temporarily occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
The air attack was repelled by aviation, anti-aircraft missile forces, electronic warfare units, unmanned systems, and mobile fire groups of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

The damage to five stations did not lead to a systemic shutdown of the region’s fuel market.
