I woke up at 4:45 today from a roar. At first I thought it was a thunderstorm, but a thunderstorm doesn’t roar that often. I didn’t sleep until 6 a.m., says Irina, a resident of St. Petersburg’s Kirovsky District. The columns of smoke were towering. And nobody warned anyone!

On the night of June 3, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region went through a massive drone attack. At 02:47, the governor of the Leningrad Region warned readers of his Telegram channel about the danger of UAVs and a possible slowdown in mobile internet speeds. Local residents told the Sever.Realii editorial team that they heard the sounds of drones and explosions at four in the morning. Huge columns of smoke rose at different points across the city and were visible from several kilometers away.
