Massive Ukrainian Blitz Hits Russia's St Petersburg During Global Forum | Watch

More than 140 Ukrainian drones targeted the St. Petersburg region on the final day of Russia's flagship economic summit, bringing the war to the doorstep of an event President Vladimir Putin has used to showcase Russia's resilience against Western pressure and international isolation. Taking to X, Zelenskyy said the strikes were the result of Russia’s refusal to engage in peace talks with Kyiv. The timing of the strike is particularly notable. It came as the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum concluded after hosting delegates, officials and business representatives from more than 130 countries. The attack also follows a previous drone raid on June 3, the opening day of the forum, suggesting Kyiv may be deliberately targeting periods when international attention is focused on St. Petersburg. Adding a political dimension to the incident, the strike occurred just days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky published an open letter in which he remarked that many Ukrainians would support drones paying "a visit" to SPIEF.

Bengal STF Recovers Arms Cache From TMC Leader's Pond In Sandeshkhali, CM Suvendu Adhikari Reacts

West Bengal Police’s Special Task Force (STF) recovered a large cache of firearms and ammunition allegedly hidden in a pond linked to Trinamool Congress regional president Robin Das in Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas district. Acting on specific intelligence inputs, STF personnel conducted raids in Sandeshkhali and nearby areas, recovering weapons and cartridges suspected to have been stockpiled to create unrest. Officials said Robin Das and his brother Gopal Das fled before the operation and are currently being traced. The BJP targeted the TMC following the recovery, alleging the weapons could have been used against political opponents. Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari praised the STF operation, calling it a major breakthrough against illegal arms networks and reaffirming his government’s commitment to eliminating political violence and restoring law and order.
