Ukraine continued its attacks targeting Russian satellite communications centers and weapons production facilities on June 22 (local time).
Russia focused its strikes on Ukrainian urban centers behind the front lines and Black Sea ports, resulting in numerous civilian casualties.
According to reports from AFP, Reuters, and other news agencies, the Ukrainian military announced that it had struck the Dubna satellite communications center in the Moscow region on this day.
Russia's state-run TASS news agency reported, "The satellite communications center was hit by a large-scale drone attack by the Ukrainian military, but there is no impact on television broadcasting or communications."
Dubna is one of Russia's leading high-tech industrial cities.
Since 2005, Russia has been developing a high-tech industrial complex in Dubna, modeled after Silicon Valley in the United States.
Attacks targeting central Moscow also continued.
Russian regional authorities stated that they shot down 59 drones heading toward Moscow, leading to the temporary closure of four airports in the capital.
Operations at the four Moscow airports were suspended for a time but resumed at approximately 5:39 a.m. on this day.
A missile electronics production plant in the border region of Voronezh was also hit by a Ukrainian military strike on the same day.
In Ukraine, six civilians were killed following Russian attacks on the Sumy and Zaporizhzhia regions.
The Black Sea port city of Odesa was struck by an Iskander ballistic missile the previous day.
The Victress, a Panamanian-flagged dry cargo ship owned by a Turkish company, caught fire after being hit by a Russian drone attack in the Black Sea.
Despite a ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, there are no signs that peace talks between the two warring sides will resume.
Peace negotiations, which had been mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner, have been stalled since March due to the situation in the Middle East.
