Ukrainian drones target St Petersburg in 'unprecedented' attack

Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted a drone attack targeting St Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region, an event Russia characterized as "unprecedented." The assault coincided with the final day of an economic forum being held in the city. According to Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko, over 140 drones were intercepted and shot down across the Leningrad region. St Petersburg's Governor Alexander Beglov issued an advisory for residents to stay indoors, a measure not seen in the city since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. This incident marks a notable increase in the scale of drone operations targeting Russian territory.
