What were the immediate consequences of Ukraine's "Spiderweb" operation, and how did Russia respond?

On June 1st, Ukraine launched a covert drone operation, codenamed "Spiderweb," destroying at least 12 Russian bombers. This resulted in a significant morale boost for Ukraine, but also prompted a retaliatory response from Russia in the form of increased missile and drone strikes across the country. Russia's response, while significant, has not been a qualitatively different level of attack than what Ukraine has endured for the past three years.
