Ukraine drone strike hits St Petersburg oil terminal and data centre

dailystar.co.uk —

Ukraine launched a massive drone strike on St Petersburg, Putin's hometown, hitting oil facilities, a data centre, a bridge and a power plant, setting the oil terminal ablaze. The attack breached Russian air defences, causing extensive disruption including flight restrictions in Finland and hundreds of flight cancellations at Pulkovo and Moscow airports. A major VK data centre suffered critical service disruption, and over 200 drones were reportedly shot down. The strike follows Zelensky's plea for Trump to pressure Putin, not Ukraine, and comes amid tensions over Trump's diesel agreement with Russia. Local residents expressed fear, while Russian officials demanded retaliation.
