On July 27, Russia held subdued Navy Day ceremonies in St. Petersburg amid security concerns and drone attacks. Authorities reported that air defense forces shot down several Ukrainian drones, resulting in one injury from debris. The traditionally celebratory naval parade was canceled this year as announced by local officials. President Putin, present in St. Petersburg, received reports on naval exercises and pledged to enhance naval capabilities, stating that strike power will evolve to a new level. Significant drone activity was reported with almost 100 neutralized across various Russian regions.
The Navy Day parade was canceled this year, a decision announced by local authorities late last week, citing security concerns as a primary reason.
Russian officials said more than 10 drones were shot down in the morning in the Leningrad region, with one woman slightly injured by falling debris.
Putin pledged to build more warships and step up naval training, asserting that the navy's strike power and combat capability will rise to a qualitatively new level.
Almost 100 drones were shot down in various Russian regions overnight, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, indicating the ongoing military tensions.
