Ukraine launched one of the war's largest drone attacks against Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad region on Saturday night, killing one person and injuring five others. Russian officials reported downing 144 drones, with strikes damaging the region's main oil terminal, an electrical substation, an e-commerce warehouse, a Vkontakte data center, and a bridge. The attack left around 20,000 people without power. The offensive came hours after the White House and Kremlin agreed to resume Russian diesel supplies to the US and ease some sanctions, a move criticized by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several EU voices.
