Ukrainian drone attack on St. Petersburg kills Russian pilots

Russian pilots died repelling a massive Ukrainian drone attack on St. Petersburg, according to Russian sources, with the military not yet confirming the loss. The claim was made by Russian blogger Ilya Tumanov, who wrote that defending the sky over the city was very costly. Other Russian channels report a Ka-52 attack helicopter was lost, while the defense ministry has not commented on the aircraft. The attack involved over 627 drones across 23 Russian regions. A fire at the Ust-Luga port, a major Baltic oil export hub, injured three people, with 150 drones reportedly shot down over the Leningrad region.
