Russia reported intercepting hundreds of Ukrainian drones overnight on the final day of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. This occurred as Ukraine reported at least three people killed by Russian strikes. Both Moscow and Kyiv have increased drone attacks on each other in recent months. Diplomatic efforts led by the US to end the conflict remain stalled, partly due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The St. Petersburg forum, which concluded on Saturday, had featured a speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin the previous day.
