Ukrainian drones strike Russian oil refinery near St Petersburg

Ukrainian drones reportedly struck the Kinef oil refinery near St Petersburg, Russia's second-largest, during the night, according to Ukrainian media citing open-source intelligence channels. The attack caused explosions at the facility, which is over 160 kilometers from the city. The regional governor said 113 drones were shot down around the time of the strike. The refinery, subject to Western sanctions, produces fuel for Russian military units and has been targeted by Ukraine several times this year. The strikes occur as both sides continue attacking each other's energy infrastructure, despite a claimed temporary pause by US President Donald Trump that Ukraine says it never agreed to. Delegates are set to meet in Abu Dhabi this week for peace talks.
