Ukraine Drones Hit Russian Cities

Ukraine Drones Hit Russian Cities

Ukrainian drones struck oil export terminals in St. Petersburg and hit buildings in several districts, injuring people and damaging infrastructure.

This attack occurred hours before President Vladimir Putin's annual economic forum, aiming to embarrass the Kremlin and demonstrate the vulnerability of Russia's major cities.

The incident follows a massive wave of Russian drone and missile attacks across Ukraine, which killed at least 22 civilians.

The ongoing exchanges highlight the escalating nature of the conflict and Ukraine's strategy to target Russian territory.
