Ukrainian drones target St Petersburg in attack Russia calls 'unprecedented'
Source: BBC NEWS
Russian authorities say Ukraine has launched an "unprecedented attack" on and around St Petersburg, as the city hosts the final day of Russia's annual economic forum.
More than 140 drones were shot down over the surrounding Leningrad region, governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said, while the city's governor, Alexander Beglov, urged residents to remain indoors for the first time since the war began.
Ukraine's president said his forces hit Russia's arsenals and a naval base in what he called a just response to Russian attacks.
It comes a day after Vladimir Putin told the forum there was no point in meeting Volodymyr Zelensky, who had called for direct talks on ending the war.

And maybe on Putin's private residence on the Black Sea where he keeps his mistress.
