Ukrainian Drone Strikes Set St Petersburg Oil Terminal Ablaze

usnews.com —

Ukrainian drone attacks set an oil export terminal ablaze in St. Petersburg on Sunday, part of a massive bombardment of over 1,000 drones across Russia, killing one person and wounding five others. The strikes targeted the Petersburg Oil Terminal and Ruchi oil depot, plus a logistics center and data center, with Russia reporting it destroyed 1,015 drones over 15 regions. Separately, a woman died in Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. The assault follows President Donald Trump's Oct. 11 announcement of an "energy ceasefire," which Ukraine says Russia has violated with 76 attacks on its energy sector in the past week, prompting Kyiv to resume oil strikes after a three-day pause.
