A night of fires across the city
Ukrainian drones struck St Petersburg overnight, killing at least one person and injuring five, the city's governor said on Sunday. Alexander Beglov said firefighters battled blazes at the St Petersburg oil terminal, the Ruchi oil depot and industrial warehouses in the Kolpino district to the south. Several residential buildings and two houses were also hit, he said.
Images from the city showed thick smoke rising over the oil terminal. Russia's state news agency TASS called it the largest attack on the region in four years.
Airport, data centre and a warehouse
City authorities restricted flights at St Petersburg's main airport for safety reasons. The e-commerce company Ozon said its logistics hub in the city caught fire, and the internet company VK said drones attacked its data centre in the Leningrad region, though services stayed online.
Alexander Drozdenko, governor of the surrounding Leningrad region, said 145 drones were shot down and about 20,000 people lost electricity. The defence ministry in Moscow said 1,015 Ukrainian drones were neutralised overnight, a figure that could not be checked independently.
An energy ceasefire in pieces
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian strikes on Ukraine overnight killed two people and injured 12, including two children, and hit an agricultural business in the Volyn region. Over the past week, he said, Russia fired almost 2,700 attack drones, 1,700 aerial bombs and 66 missiles, most of them ballistic.
He also said Moscow had attacked Ukraine's energy and oil and gas sectors 76 times since President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire a week ago, with substations hit in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi and Odesa regions overnight.
The strikes came a day after Trump signed an executive order waiving sanctions and tariffs on Russian energy revenues for 60 days. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the pause would let Washington analyse the effect of sanctions and tariffs on the global economy. Lawmakers from both parties criticised the move, and Zelenskyy said the attacks showed Moscow was not answering sanctions relief with reciprocal steps.
