Ukraine hits St. Petersburg oil terminal in major drone attack

politico.eu —

Ukraine struck an oil terminal in St. Petersburg on Sunday in what Russian state media called one of the year's largest drone attacks, killing one person and injuring several others. The strike targeted the Petersburg Oil Terminal and other industrial sites. The attack follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's order to resume strikes on Russian oil refineries after a three-day pause, which came after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed to have brokered an energy ceasefire. Zelenskyy reported Russia launched nearly 2,700 drones, 1,700 bombs, and 66 missiles against Ukraine in the past week. Separately, Lithuania reported a suspected drone may have self-detonated near the Latvian border, prompting NATO fighter jets to scramble, while Poland searched for an unidentified object that entered its airspace following a Russian attack on Ukraine.
