Ukraine fires wave of drones at Russia on last day of key forum

In a major escalation of cross-border drone warfare, Ukraine launched a wave of hundreds of drone attacks against Russian territory early Saturday, timed to coincide with the closing day of Russia’s high-profile Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). The strikes left one civilian dead, sparked a large blaze at a southern Russian oil depot, and marked the second Ukrainian assault on the Saint Petersburg area in less than a week.
