Ukraine launches unprecedented drone strike around St. Petersburg amid Russian forum

Ukraine says it carried out a large drone attack around St. Petersburg, with authorities reporting more than 140 drones shot down in the Leningrad region and residents urged to stay indoors. Zelensky claimed strikes on Russia’s arsenals and a Kronstadt naval base, noting drones traveled about 1,000 km and that an oil depot in Krasnodar was hit. The incidents occurred as Russia hosted its economic forum and as Putin suggested there was little point in new talks with Zelensky.

Ukrainian Drones Extend Reach to Baltic, Hit Russian Warship in Kronstadt

On June 3, 2026, Ukrainian one-way attack drones struck the Russian corvette Boiky in Kronstadt’s Veleshchynsky dry dock, about 1,100 km from Ukraine, causing a midship hit that destroyed the mainmast and central sensor/operations spaces. Boiky survived but requires extensive repairs, illustrating Ukraine’s expanding long-range drone campaign and signaling a widening attack footprint into the Baltic that challenges Russia’s naval readiness and has implications for NATO security during a major regional forum.
