Ukraine Launches Large Drone Attack on St. Petersburg Oil Terminal
Ukraine carried out a large overnight drone strike targeting St. Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region, hitting the city’s oil terminal and nearby port infrastructure; authorities say 72 drones were shot down with only minor damage and no casualties reported in St. Petersburg or Vysotsk port. Zelensky framed the attack as part of Kyiv’s long-range sanctions against Russia, while Moscow dismissed energy strikes as not critical and did not confirm a strike on Kronstadt. The broader campaign has hit Russian energy facilities across the country, with reports of casualties in Bryansk and Crimea and continued drone activity around Pskov, as Kyiv maintains Kostiantynivka remains under Ukrainian control amid competing Russian claims.
