Ukraine launches largest drone attack of war on Putin's hometown St. Petersburg

Ukraine launched its largest drone attack of the war against St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city and President Vladimir Putin's hometown, early Sunday, with around 150 drones striking oil, logistics, and digital infrastructure. The attack, which also hit the adjacent Leningrad region, caused fires at two fuel terminals, damaged a data center and an e-commerce warehouse, and briefly cut power to 20,000 people. One person was killed and ten injured, while airport operations were restricted. The escalation follows US President Donald Trump's recent decisions favoring Russia, including authorizing Russian diesel exports and halting new sanctions. Russia's defense ministry reported shooting down 1,015 drones across 15 regions, with Moscow's airports also disrupted.
