俄羅斯在2026年6月2日凌晨對烏克蘭發動了近年來規模最為龐大的飽和式空中襲擊，導致全烏克蘭多座城市陷入火海，目擊者與居民紛紛形容現場慘況宛如世界末日。根據烏克蘭空軍與官方的最新統計，俄軍在短短一夜之間瘋狂傾瀉了大量彈藥，共計發射了656架自殺式無人機以及73枚各型飛彈，其中甚至包含難以攔截的彈道飛彈、巡弋飛彈與8枚鋯石極音速飛彈。面對這場空前的混合打擊，烏克蘭防空部隊整夜全力運作，最終成功擊落602架無人機與40枚飛彈。儘管防空攔截率極高，但龐大的基數仍使防空系統面臨極限，導致33枚飛彈及54架無人機突破防線或墜落，對全烏克蘭至少38處地點造成了嚴重的直接破壞。

這場空襲引發的爆炸聲與防空攔截聲響徹整夜，數千名驚恐的居民攜帶被褥與寵物湧入地鐵站避難，而首都基輔與第聶伯羅則淪為本次襲擊的重災區。在基輔，全市10個行政區中有8個遭到波及，一棟24層高的公寓大廈被飛彈或殘骸直接擊中，導致部分結構坍塌，街頭大量汽車燃燒，多處幼兒園與民宅因碎片引發大火。傷亡最為慘重的工業城市第聶伯羅則有11人死亡、37人受傷，一棟4層樓的公寓幾乎被夷為平地，死者中甚至包含一名2歲幼童。更令人髮指的是，俄軍在救援人員進駐現場時發動了二次打擊，導致一名第一線的搜救隊員當場殉職。此外，哈爾科夫與札波羅熱等地的能源與關鍵基礎設施也都在這波攻勢中遭到猛烈轟炸。

針對這起慘劇，兩國官方各執一詞。俄羅斯國防部聲稱，這次行動是針對烏克蘭國防與軍工產業建築群的精準打擊，並堅稱未將平民列為目標，外界則分析這可能是為了報復日前烏軍襲擊盧甘斯克造成21死而展開的反擊。烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基則強烈譴責襲擊，並指出這正是防空系統短缺的慘烈後果。他已緊急致函美國及歐洲盟邦，敦促西方必須盡速、持續提供愛國者防空系統和攔截飛彈，否則將無法有效應對俄軍日漸瘋狂的彈道與極音速飛彈攻勢。這場空襲爆發時，俄烏戰爭已持續超過4年，而停火和談依然沒有任何進展。

Kyiv turned into an apocalyptic hellscape in the early hours of June 2, 2026, as Russia launched one of its largest and most devastating "saturation" aerial assaults in years. According to the latest data from the Ukrainian Air Force and state officials, Russian forces unleashed a massive barrage of 656 suicide drones and 73 missiles of various types, including hard-to-intercept ballistic, cruise, and 8 Zircon hypersonic missiles. Ukraine’s air defense systems worked tirelessly through the night, successfully downing 602 drones and 40 missiles. However, the sheer volume of the assault pushed defensive capabilities to their limits, allowing 33 missiles and 54 drones to breach the perimeter or crash, inflicting severe direct damage across at least 38 locations nationwide and leaving 11 dead and over a hundred injured.

The night was pierced by deafening explosions and the roar of air defense interceptions, forcing thousands of terrified residents to flee into subway stations for shelter with bedding and pets. Kyiv and Dnipro bore the brunt of the onslaught. In the capital, eight out of ten districts were hit, with a 24-story residential building partially collapsing after a direct strike by a missile or falling debris, while fires tore through multiple kindergartens, homes, and cars. The industrial city of Dnipro suffered the heaviest casualties, where 11 people died and 37 were injured. A four-story apartment building there was completely leveled, claiming the life of a two-year-old toddler. Horrifically, Russian forces carried out a double-tap strike just as emergency workers arrived, killing a first responder on the scene, while critical energy infrastructure in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia was also severely battered.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, both sides offered starkly contrasting narratives. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed the operation was a high-precision strike targeting Ukrainian military-industrial complexes and maintained that civilians were not targeted, though analysts suggest the raid was retaliation for a recent Ukrainian attack on Luhansk that killed 21. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fiercely condemned the assault, citing it as a tragic consequence of severe air defense shortages. He urgently petitioned the United States and European allies for the immediate and sustained delivery of Patriot air defense systems and interceptor missiles, warning that Ukraine cannot otherwise counter Russia's escalating ballistic and hypersonic threats as the war grinds past its fourth year with no peace talks in sight.
