Ukrainian AN-196 "Lyuty" and FP-2 kamikaze drones struck the Petersburg Oil Terminal oil terminal in St. Petersburg. The strikes were recorded by local residents from various angles. According to media reports, the Ukrainian drones came from the Gulf of Finland, presumably from the Baltic states. It's worth noting that it's impossible to protect all Russian facilities; there aren't enough air defense installations or troops to operate them. One solution is to create a layered air defense belt around Ukraine, but it hasn't been implemented.
Ukrainian media outlets have published footage of Ukrainian FP-2 kamikaze drones striking the corvette Boykiy of the Russian Baltic Fleet. The corvette, a Project 20380, was undergoing scheduled maintenance in Kronstadt, near St. Petersburg. Judging by the video, the ship was attacked by several drones, resulting in a fire.
Additional footage of Russian Kh-101 cruise missile strikes in Kyiv on June 2. The video was filmed by local residents. Some speculate that these are hypersonic Tsirkon missiles, but they typically fly on a semi-ballistic or ballistic trajectory. The Kh-101 missile has a range of up to 5,500 km and a 400 kg warhead.

The first footage of Ukrainian An-196 "Lyuty" kamikaze drones being destroyed by the new Russian "Kalitka" turret.

According to the war correspondent, the ammunition used to destroy one of the targets was 37 rounds. Technical information on the "Kalitka" turret is not yet available, but it is known to be capable of automatically locking on and tracking targets.
A Ukrainian naval drone exploded in the Romanian port of Constanta. The Romanian Ministry of Defense stated that naval drones of this type are being used in the war in Ukraine.
