Ukrainian forces are engaged in urban combat within Kostiantynivka, deploying assault units to clear enemy personnel who have infiltrated the city. A battalion commander stated the city is "semi-encircled" due to Russian advances near Chasiv Yar and Berestky. Meanwhile, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant experienced its 19th loss of external power on June 10, around 9 PM, following an attack on an electrical substation. Energoatom confirmed the incident, noting the plant switched to backup diesel generators after the "ZaTES – Ferrosplavna №1" power line disconnected. Ukraine's General Staff reported 251 combat engagements on June 10, detailing 100 Russian air strikes and over 9,000 kamikaze drones. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi stated Ukrainian drone units struck nearly 180,000 Russian targets in May, claiming a 1.5 to 1 advantage in FPV drones. Sources: Громадське, Радіо Свобода
