Ukrainian drones successfully struck a Russian navy arsenal near the Baltic port of Kronstadt, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on June 6, 2026. The attack targeted a storage facility for missiles and naval munitions, located approximately 1,000 kilometers from Ukrainian territory.
Zelensky stated that the operation demonstrated Ukraine's growing long-range strike capability. The drones reportedly hit the arsenal without causing civilian casualties, according to preliminary reports. Russian authorities have not officially commented on the extent of the damage.
The strike comes amid ongoing Ukrainian efforts to degrade Russian military logistics and supply chains. Kronstadt, a historic naval base near St. Petersburg, houses key Russian Baltic Fleet assets. Analysts note that such deep strikes aim to disrupt Russian offensive operations in Ukraine.
