Ukraine Attempts Terrorist Attack on Civilian Infrastructure in Russia's St. Petersburg

The Ukrainian armed forces attempted to attack civilian infrastructure facilities in the St. Petersburg area on Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Russian Aerospace Forces detected six UAVs in Latvia's airspace.

Over Latvia, Russian monitoring systems identified two French Rafale and two F-16 fighter jets.

At approximately 4:00 AM Moscow time, tracking of five of the six detected UAVs was lost near Rezekne in eastern Latvia; the sixth UAV was shot down southeast of the Russian city of Pskov.

Analysis of the debris has identified the target that attacked from Latvian airspace as a Ukrainian-made Lyuty UAV.
