On June 6, 2026, Ukraine executed a drone attack on St. Petersburg, marking the second such incident in under a week. This latest assault involved hundreds of drones aimed at Russia's second-largest city.
The timing of the attack coincided with the final day of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, an event often referred to as the 'Russian Davos.'
This development indicates a notable escalation in Ukraine's drone warfare strategy amid the ongoing conflict.
