On the night of June 10, 2025, the Leningrad Region was attacked by unmanned aerial vehicles, which forced the authorities to introduce an air alert regime and temporarily restrict access to mobile communications and the Internet in a number of districts. According to Governor Alexander Drozdenko, the air defense forces successfully neutralized the threat, destroying two drones over the Tosnensky and Lomonosovsky districts. According to preliminary data, casualties and destruction were avoided, but the incident highlights the increasing activity of unmanned attacks on Russian regions.
