Ukraine hits major oil terminal in Russia's St Petersburg

Ukraine hits oil and military facilities near Russia’s St Petersburg

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Ukrainian drones struck a major oil terminal in St. Petersburg on Saturday, extending Kyiv’s long-range campaign against Russian oil infrastructure into Russia’s second-largest city. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the terminal generates revenue for Russia’s war, and Ukraine said it also hit a major Russian naval base in the region. The strikes disrupted St. Petersburg internet service and flights, while Russian attacks halted a gas facility in central Ukraine. Nearly daily attacks on refineries and terminals have contributed to fuel shortages across Russia, which Vladimir Putin called “not critical.”
