Satellite images have confirmed damage to the Russian corvette Boyky in St. Petersburg
Ukrainian strike drones successfully attacked the Russian Project 20380 missile corvette *Boyky* at the Kronstadt Naval Base in St. Petersburg.
Journalists have obtained fresh SkySat satellite images that clearly document the aftermath of this operation.
The detailed images show thick smoke and signs of a massive fire directly on the superstructure of the warship.
Military experts note that a critically important part of the ship, located above the upper deck, was hit.
This structure traditionally houses the navigation bridge, main combat stations, radar systems, and communications equipment.
Damage to these elements is critical for the fleet, as it can completely deprive the warship of control and effective combat capability.
“SkySat images show smoke and signs of a massive fire on the ship’s superstructure. This is the structure above the upper deck that houses the navigation bridge, combat stations, communication systems, and radars; damage to these can completely deprive the ship of control and combat capability,” analysts note.
The successful attack took place on the morning of June 3, 2026, while the Russian corvette was in the Veleschinsky Dry Dock, where it had entered for scheduled repairs back in February.
The released video footage proves that at least two Ukrainian drones hit the target. Local residents witnessed the incident, observing a column of fire and smoke several kilometers away from the military base.
This was reported by Militariy.
