  • St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said there was no substantial damage to property, cited by the Moscow Times.
  • The RBC-Ukraine news outlet, citing an anonymous Ukrainian military intelligence source, reported that Ukraine’s military intelligence agency GUR was behind the drone strike.
