Archival combat footage filmed in 2016 near Aleppo shows an assault on a Syrian military base from the perspective of fighters from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham. The video captures close-quarters fighting inside and around the position during the battle. At one moment in the footage, a Syrian Arab Army soldier is shot at close range after apparently mistaking an opposing fighter for a fellow serviceman during the chaotic engagement. The material documents the intensity of urban and base combat that characterized parts of the Syrian conflict during that period.

Overnight strikes across Kharkiv Oblast caused multiple civilian casualties in both Kharkiv and Chuhuiv. In Kharkiv, at least 15 people were injured, including three children - an 11-year-old girl, a 16-year-old girl, and a one-year-old boy. In Chuhuiv, missile strikes reportedly killed at least three people, among them a 22-year-old pregnant woman. Six more people were injured in the attack. Emergency services and rescue crews continued working at the impact sites through the night and morning hours.

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces reported a series of overnight drone strikes against fuel infrastructure in occupied Crimea on June 7. Targets included the “Semykolodezianska” oil depot near the settlement of Yedy-Kuyu, also known by Russian authorities as Lenine, as well as a large marine oil terminal in Feodosia. According to released information, the depot was used for storing and transporting fuel products including diesel, fuel oil, and bitumen for Russian military logistics across occupied territories. The Feodosia terminal reportedly serves as a key hub for transferring petroleum products from rail tankers to sea vessels and contains several large-capacity fuel reservoirs. Both facilities are located more than 200 kilometers from the frontline and play a role in supplying fuel infrastructure across occupied Crimea.

Footage circulating online shows a Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 tank sustaining FPV drone strikes while remaining operational. According to preliminary analysis, additional protective modifications on the vehicle helped prevent critical damage. In one episode, metal anti-drone bars caused the incoming drone to detonate away from the hull, redirecting the shaped-charge blast away from the tank itself. Another clip shows flames on the rear exterior section of the vehicle, though there are no visible signs of an internal fire or ammunition detonation. Based on the footage, claims about the complete destruction of the tank have not been confirmed.

Rare combat footage shows operators of the BULAVA unit from the 3rd Mechanized Battalion of the Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Operational Brigade using a modified “Queen of Hornets” drone equipped with a grenade launcher. According to the unit, the drone was used to strike a building where opposing forces were sheltering. The video captures the moment the airborne system approaches the structure and fires the mounted weapon during the operation. Such configurations remain relatively uncommon and reflect ongoing experimentation with drone-mounted infantry weapons on the battlefield.

Ukrainian developer RATEL demonstrated a new concept combining an unmanned ground vehicle with FPV drone operations. The platform is designed to function as a mobile launch system capable of carrying and deploying up to four FPV drones simultaneously. In the released footage, one fiber-optic FPV drone can be seen launching directly from the robotic ground platform. According to the manufacturer, the system uses Starlink for signal relay and communication support during operations. The concept is aimed at extending drone deployment flexibility and improving survivability of FPV crews closer to frontline positions.

Ukrainian defense company Fire Point released footage showing the launch of its FP-7.X ballistic missile, which is expected to become the foundation for the future FREYJA anti-ballistic interceptor system. According to company representatives, the latest test included a fully controlled maneuvering flight of the missile. Earlier reports stated that the FP-7 platform is being developed both as a strike missile and as the basis for an air defense interceptor capable of engaging ballistic threats. Open-source data suggests the missile may have a range of up to 200 km, a warhead of around 150 kg, and speeds reaching approximately Mach 4.4.

Overnight strikes reportedly targeted five Russian cargo ships and tankers operating near Berdiansk, Mariupol, and other coastal waters under Russian occupation. According to preliminary reports, the vessels were involved in transporting fuel, military cargo, and exported Ukrainian grain through occupied ports. Details regarding the scale of damage and the condition of the ships remain limited, though multiple incidents were reported across the occupied coastal zone during the same night.

A drone strike hit a residential high-rise building in the Dniprovskyi district of Kyiv, causing a large fire that destroyed 36 apartments. According to local authorities, at least 8 people were injured in the attack. An 86-year-old woman was killed at the scene, while later emergency crews discovered the burned body of a man inside the damaged building. Footage from the area shows severe fire damage and destroyed sections of the residential complex following the impact.

A Russian Svetlyak-class border patrol vessel was reportedly struck near the settlement of Yurkine. Preliminary reports indicate the attack damaged the patrol ship while several crew members were onboard at the time of impact. Footage and local reports from the area began circulating shortly after the incident, though the full extent of the damage has not yet been officially confirmed. The strike adds to continued attacks targeting Russian naval and border security assets around occupied Crimea and the Black Sea region.
