Ukraine Strikes Russia's Baltic Fleet Base in Kronstadt

Ukrainian drones hit an oil terminal and naval base in Kronstadt, the Russian Navy's Baltic Fleet headquarters, hours before a major economic forum in St. Petersburg, according to President Zelensky. The strike demonstrates Ukraine's expanded operational range far beyond Crimea into Russia's northwestern territory. The attack follows a pattern of Ukrainian targeting of strategic military infrastructure, including naval facilities and transport links, as part of a sustained campaign to degrade Russian military capabilities supporting its occupation of Ukrainian territory.
