Drone wars between Ukraine and Russia continue

Russian drone strikes killed two people in Ukraine, officials said on June 7, as European leaders gathered in London to discuss piling pressure on Moscow over its four-year war.

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia targeted the country with 236 drones overnight, with 215 intercepted.

The Russian attack came after a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack that targeted St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, underscoring Kiev’s growing ability to hit deep inside Russia.

Ukraine fired hundreds of drones at Russia early on June 6, leaving one person dead and setting an oil depot ablaze on the final day of the country’s flagship economic forum in Saint Petersburg, officials said.
