bostonglobe.com —

Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia in one of its largest aerial attacks of the war, setting an oil export terminal and depot ablaze in St. Petersburg and killing one person. Russia's Defense Ministry said it destroyed 1,015 Ukrainian drones over 15 regions, Crimea, and the Black Sea. Five others were wounded in St. Petersburg, where a logistics center and data center were also targeted. The attack came as U.S. President Trump criticized Kyiv's strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. Ukraine reported Russian attacks on energy sites continued despite a recent "energy cease-fire" agreement, with President Zelensky accusing Russia of trying to cause a blackout.
