Ukraine's largest drone attack on Russia sets oil terminal ablaze in St. Petersburg

di.se (Swedish) —

Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks on Russia, setting major oil facilities ablaze, including a large terminal in St. Petersburg where one person was killed and thousands lost power. The attack involved over 1,000 drones, with more than 500 aimed at Moscow, according to Russian officials. In St. Petersburg, drones struck residential buildings, a data center, and a warehouse, while flights at Pulkovo airport were disrupted. The strikes follow a failed "energy ceasefire" proposed by Donald Trump a week ago, which Ukraine observed for three days but Russia did not. The attack also comes amid high US gasoline prices linked to the Iran conflict.
