Drone Attack on St. Petersburg Hits Oil Port, Data Center, and Power Substation

A drone attack on Saint Petersburg, Russia, caused a major fire at an oil port and struck a data center and a power substation, leading to blackouts and service disruptions. The attack targeted the Petersburg Oil Terminal, a major Baltic export hub. Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko reported 57 drones shot down, with debris damaging cars in Nizino. Strikes on a VKontakte data center and the Vostochnaya substation caused widespread digital service outages and blackouts. The terminal has an annual capacity of 12.5 million tons. Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky had vowed to resume strikes on Russian refineries after a three-day pause, a move criticized by US President Donald Trump.
