Summary compiled by: ⚡️Two Majors
🇮🇷🇺🇸The US forces have been attacking Iran using ATCAMS heavy percision rockets lobbed from Kuwait.
The Iranian counter batteries located the US units and targeted them several hours ago.
All visual evidence indicates the US ATCAMS batteries at the location have been destroyed.
Also, 12 US service personnel, severely injured in Iran's retaliatory strikes, have been airlifted to Ramstein Air Base in Germany for treatment.
We will have to wait for word on the US fatalities (if any) until the next of kin have been informed.

🇷🇺 From Russian channel Military Chronicles:
"Regarding the sudden death of the senator from South Carolina. Lindsey Graham did no small amount of harm to Russia, and his death is, without a doubt, the death of an enemy. But for now there is some uncertainty about the circumstances of his death. It's known that he died suddenly. Among the theories being discussed are a heart attack and even a blood clot. However, a few days before his death he traveled to Ukraine, where he actively visited defense plants. In those same days, by a remarkable coincidence, the Russian army was actively destroying those very plants. Whether Graham's death was a direct result of a significant quantity of explosives, delivered by an "Iskander-M" missile, entering his brain, we may never know — and the American side, for its part, is in no hurry to disclose the circumstances of his death."

🇪🇺🇺🇦The number of Ukrainian refugees in Europe continues to grow, according to data from Eurostat.
In May the number of Ukrainians with temporary protection status increased in 22 out of 26 EU countries. The largest increase was in Italy, with an increase of 6,250 people (+15.3%). Germany follows with an increase of 3,610 people (+0.3%), and Spain with an increase of 2,295 people (+0.9%).
However, the number of Ukrainian refugees decreased in four countries. The largest decrease was in Bulgaria, with a decrease of 12,345 people (-14.8%). Poland follows with a decrease of 3,750 people (-0.4%), and France with a decrease of 665 people (-1.3%).
Eurostat notes that sharp monthly decreases may not be due to a mass exodus of refugees, but rather to specific national procedures for removing recipients of temporary protection from the records.
Overall, at the end of May, 4.38 million people who had fled Ukraine had temporary protection status in the EU. This number increased by 7,795 people, or 0.2%, during the month.
