Ukraine Strikes St. Petersburg Oil Facilities in 1,000-Drone Attack on Russia
Ukraine launched over 1,000 drones at Russia on Sunday, setting an oil export terminal and depot ablaze in St. Petersburg in one of its largest aerial attacks of the war, killing one person and wounding five others. The strikes targeted the Petersburg Oil Terminal, Ruchi oil depot, an Ozon logistics center, and a VK data center. Russia's Defense Ministry reported destroying 1,015 drones across 15 regions, Crimea, and the Black Sea, while Ukrainian officials reported Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia killed a woman and wounded two others. The attack deepened U.S.-Ukraine tensions, with President Trump criticizing strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and his sanctions waiver uncertain. Zelenskyy said Russia attacked Ukraine's energy sectors 76 times since Trump's Oct. 11 ceasefire announcement, and Ukraine apologized to Lithuania after a drone entered its airspace.
