Ukraine drones hit Saint Petersburg as flagship economic forum opens

Ukrainian drones hit energy and military sites in Saint Petersburg early Wednesday morning as officials gathered for a flagship economic forum in the city, Russian and Ukrainian authorities said.

The Russian governor of the city, Alexander Beglov, said "several" infrastructure facilities were damaged, but no one was killed in the attack, which various Ukrainian officials said was aimed at disrupting the three-day gathering, which President Vladimir Putin will attend.
