Ukrainian Drone Strike on Saint Petersburg Oil Terminal Sparks Fire

dn.pt (Portuguese) —

Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks of the war against Saint Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region early Sunday, sparking a fire at an oil terminal and killing one person. Russian air defenses shot down 126 drones over the region, while Moscow reported downing 1,015 Ukrainian drones across 15 regions. The attack also targeted a data center, wounded five people, and left around 20,000 residents without power in the city of over 5 million. The strikes come amid escalating tensions over energy infrastructure, with Kyiv resuming attacks on Russian refineries after accusing Moscow of violating a US-brokered energy truce. President Donald Trump had urged Ukraine to halt such strikes, citing oil price concerns.
