Ukrainian drone strike on St. Petersburg oil terminal cuts power, kills one

upi.com —

Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on Russia overnight Sunday, striking a major oil terminal and data center in St. Petersburg, cutting power to thousands and causing fires. Russia's defense ministry reported downing over 1,000 Ukrainian drones. The attack targeted the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal, which processes 12.5 million tons annually, and a logistics center where one person was killed and five injured. It came a week after President Donald Trump announced Kyiv and Moscow agreed not to attack energy facilities, though Russia never acknowledged the deal. Ukraine reported 11 killed and 50 injured in Russian strikes over the past 24 hours, including on energy facilities near Odesa. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia attacked Ukrainian energy sites 76 times since the ceasefire announcement, as Trump waived sanctions on Russian diesel imports.
