Ukraine’s Drones Strike Deep Inside Russia, Hitting Naval Base Near St. Petersburg

For the first time, Ukraine’s long-range drones have reached the Baltic coast, striking the Russian naval base at Kronstadt. The attack, which occurred on day 1,564 of the war, marks a significant expansion of Kyiv’s drone campaign. From the Baltic Sea in the north to Crimea in the south, Ukrainian forces are tightening their pressure on Russian military infrastructure. The strike on Kronstadt, a key base near St. Petersburg, demonstrates Ukraine’s growing ability to hit targets far beyond the front lines. No official casualty figures have been released, but the operation signals a new phase in the conflict.
