Ukrainian forces are engaged in urban combat against infiltrating enemy personnel in Kostiantynivka, with assault units conducting clearing operations. A battalion commander reported the city is "semi-encircled" due to Russian advances near Chasiv Yar and Berestky. Separately, President Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have, in their first year, struck Russian targets valued at nearly $40 billion. He noted these diverse strikes help preserve lives and have made Russian military logistics across occupied territories accessible to Ukrainian drones. Meanwhile, on June 10, Russian drones attacked two civilian cargo vessels in the Black Sea, flying Panamanian and Barbadian flags. One vessel, heading to Odesa for metal, caught fire, which was extinguished. The other was transporting wheat. Both remained seaworthy, and no injuries were reported. Russian forces also targeted the southern Odesa region.
