Local residents and monitoring channels documented significant fallout near the island city of Kronstadt, a strategic hub housing a major base for the Russian Navy’s Baltic Fleet. Drone impacts triggered a fire and a prominent column of smoke in the immediate vicinity of the Kronstadt Marine Plant. The industrial facility is responsible for the maintenance, repair, and outfitting of Russian surface warships and submarines. Simultaneously, secondary drone waves struck the settlement of Lebyazhye within the Leningrad region. Operational reports indicate that the strike targeted the 15th Arsenal of the Russian Navy, impacting a critical ammunition storage warehouse.
