Ukraine strikes St Petersburg during major Russian forum
Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Ukraine launched overnight drone strikes on St Petersburg, targeting energy infrastructure, military sites, and a warship as Russia prepares to host its major international economic forum. The attacks caused fires at the city's oil terminal and damaged the naval base and shipyard, creating a backdrop of black smoke as international delegates, including a US delegation for the first time in over a decade, arrived for the conference where Vladimir Putin is scheduled to deliver a keynote address. NATO Chief Mark Reuter visited Kyiv to pay tribute to fallen soldiers and commit to increased missile production as the Kremlin vows to respond to the strikes.
