Ukraine launched a drone attack on St. Petersburg, Russia, on Wednesday, June 3, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calling it a "just" response to Russian aggression. Zelensky stated the strikes targeted "purely military objectives," including the Kronstadt base and a weapons production facility in the Tambov region, and welcomed the targeting of Russia's oil industry. The attack reportedly damaged "several" infrastructures and caused a fire at an oil terminal, coinciding with the city's International Economic Forum. This development follows a record Russian missile barrage overnight June 1-2, when Moscow fired numerous Iskander-M and Tsirkon hypersonic missiles at Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv and Dnipro, reportedly exploiting a deficit in Ukraine's Patriot air defense systems.
