Ukraine launched a drone attack on St Petersburg, Russia, striking a major oil terminal and data center, causing fires and power outages. The attack, described as one of the largest of the year, disrupted operations at the city's main airport and left 20,000 people without electricity.
The attack involved over 1,000 drones, with 145 shot down by Russian air defense. One person was killed and five injured, according to local authorities. Fires broke out at an oil refinery and depot, with residential buildings also affected. The Leningrad region reported 20,000 people without power and a woman and three children hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning.
Russian officials confirmed the attack was the largest in four years, with Moscow's defense ministry reporting 1,015 drones neutralized. Ukraine accused Russia of violating a Trump-declared 'energy ceasefire,' with Kyiv resuming strikes on Russian refineries as part of retaliation for ongoing attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
