Russia’s St Petersburg region was hit by a major Ukrainian drone attack overnight, according to Russian officials. The attack targeted the city of St Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region.
Details of the Attack
St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov reported a ‘large-scale’ drone attack on the city, but did not provide details of specific targets. Local media outlet Bumaga reported a fire at the city’s oil terminal. Leningrad region Governor Alexander Drozdenko said drones struck the port of Vysotsk, which handles oil, grain, coal, and liquefied natural gas.
Ukraine has intensified strikes on Russian energy infrastructure this year, causing fuel shortages in parts of Russia. St Petersburg, about 900 km from Ukrainian-held territory, has occasionally come under attack from Kyiv’s drones.
