Ukraine launched a coordinated long-range drone assault on St. Petersburg's oil infrastructure and the Kronstadt naval base on June 3, 2026 — the opening day of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum — hitting targets more than 1,100 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The strikes, which injured several people and caused fires at one of northwestern Russia's largest oil transshipment complexes, disrupted airspace around the forum venue and raised questions about Russian air defense gaps, escalation risks, and the diplomatic calculus of attacking during an event attended by delegations from 130 countries including Saudi Arabia as guest of honor.
