Russian Warship DESTROYED, St Petersburg IN FLAMES; MASSIVE Damage in Kuwait | The Enforcer News

Jun 3, 2026
St. Petersburg is in flames after a massive drone attack which has destroyed the Russian Corvette the Boikiy and a large oil depot and transfer port in the city.

Russian air defenses, which consisted of AK rifles and Light Machine Guns were rapidly overwhelmed in the city area.

The attack is one of the most embarrassing Russia has suffered on the second largest and most important city in Russia.

Meanwhile massive damage has been documented in Kuwait, after an Iranian missile last night slammed into the Kuwait international airport terminal 1, leading to 1 killed and 63 wounded as a result of the attack.

Currently the Iranians are working even faster towards a nuclear weapon according to the IRGC, with the President of the US now saying that Iran is agreeing to everything and he would love to meet the Supreme leader of Iran."

Hi Corky

Thanks for posting.

I hope the Hermitage wasn't damaged.

I was fortunate to have toured it once decades ago.

The Hermitage may be a UNESCO site and hundreds of cats patrol the hallways for vermin.

Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky is a careful man, so I'm sure he told the AFU targeteers to avoid collateral damage.

About 7 mins in the vid at #1, there starts drone footage from the Ukrainian drones as they hit the ship.

Also, after the ship hits, the hits on the St Petersburg oil facility are dramatic... and telling; Moscow has tons of air defense systems, cities like St Petersburg have a guy with an AK trying to hit drones flying 80 mph from 500 yards away.

Not just a one way cruise missile with basic machine vision. These things showed up, began loitering around the area, and were seemingly dispatched on targets of opportunity by humans remote desktop'd in.

Zelensky proposes face-to-face talks in open letter to Putin

... Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a face-to-face meeting between himself and Vladimir Putin in a renewed bid to end the war.

In an open letter to the Russian president, the Ukrainian leader said it would be "wrong to simply wait" until the war in Europe becomes the focus of the US's attention once more, adding peace could only come "through direct engagement between" Ukraine and Russia.

He also called for a full ceasefire for the duration of proposed negotiations - something Putin ruled out earlier on Thursday. ...

Well, this will NEVER happen to those new humongous Trump-class battleships the US is going to build. No drones or cruise missiles or anything similar will EVER be able to hit one of those, right? Right? Buehler...

How do you know?

Let me guess. Because Trumpy said so?

The first casualty in any war is the Truth.

And we lost access to that well before this war.
