On June 6, 2026, Ukraine announced a synchronized long-range drone attack on Russia’s Kronstadt naval facility located near St. Petersburg. The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, in collaboration with the SBU and Unmanned Systems Forces, reportedly deployed drones that traveled nearly 1,000 kilometers to strike naval assets, munitions stockpiles, and repair facilities associated with Russia’s Baltic Fleet. Russian authorities indicated they engaged 88 drones during the nighttime operation. Additional strikes also impacted an oil storage facility in Russia’s Krasnodar area, igniting a blaze that spread over around 5,000 square meters. This operation demonstrates Ukraine’s growing ability to hit critical military targets deep within Russian territory.
