On Saturday, a large-scale drone attack launched by Ukraine targeted St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, as residents were advised to remain indoors. This incident highlights Kyiv's increasing capability to strike deep within Russian territory. The attack came shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected a proposal from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a face-to-face meeting regarding the ongoing conflict, claiming there was 'no point' in such discussions. St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov warned of possible disruptions to mobile internet services due to the strikes. Reports indicated that 141 drones were intercepted in the Leningrad region, while Russia's Defense Ministry claimed to have downed 376 Ukrainian drones. Although no casualties were reported from the latest strike, it represents a significant embarrassment for Putin, who aims to portray the conflict as distant from everyday Russian life. This attack follows a previous strike that ignited an oil terminal and impacted a naval base, overshadowing Putin's recent economic forum. In Ukraine, Russian attacks resulted in casualties, with one person killed and several others injured in drone and artillery strikes across various districts.
