💨 Abstract

Russia scaled back its Navy Day celebrations due to security concerns from Ukrainian drone attacks. Parades were canceled in several cities, including St. Petersburg. The Kremlin cited "security reasons" for the cancellations. Defence systems intercepted 99 Ukrainian drones, and a woman was injured by debris. Meanwhile, President Putin visited naval headquarters and passed off naval maneuvers exercises. Ukraine launched a strike earlier codenamed "Spiderweb," damaging Russian airbases and boosting Ukraine's morale amid ongoing conflict.
