Ukraine and Russia trade overnight strikes on energy infrastructure

lalibre.be (French) —

New cross-strikes on energy infrastructure in Russia and Ukraine overnight caused a major fire at a St. Petersburg oil terminal and left tens of thousands without power, despite a US-announced energy truce. Ukrainian drones hit the St. Petersburg oil terminal, killing one and wounding five, while Russia downed 1,015 drones across 15 regions. Ukrainian President Zelensky reported Russian strikes on power grids in four regions, killing at least two and wounding twelve. President Trump unilaterally declared an energy truce last Sunday, but attacks continued. He blames Ukraine for targeting Russian refineries, which he says raises global fuel prices, while Kyiv says the strikes are retaliation for Russia's devastating attacks on its energy system since 2022.
