St Petersburg economic forum: A Ukrainian drone hit the city hours before summit

Ukrainian drones struck the city of St. Petersburg, just hours before the opening of Russia's flagship International Economic Forum. The attacks briefly disrupted operations at the city's airport, but the event is continuing as planned. Tens of thousands of business leaders, economists, and government officials are attending the gathering. This year's forum comes against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, with Russia seeking to demonstrate that it is open for business despite international sanctions.

Al Jazeera's Yulia Shapovalova reports from the forum in St. Petersburg.
