Oil Terminal Ablaze in St Petersburg After Ukrainian Drone Strike

Описание: A major fire broke out at an oil export terminal in Russia's St Petersburg after what Ukrainian officials described as a long-range drone strike, sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky just hours before President Vladimir Putin opened the country's flagship economic forum.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the overnight strike targeted the facility located roughly 1,100 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, highlighting Kyiv's ability to hit strategic infrastructure deep inside Russian territory.

St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov confirmed that drones struck infrastructure in multiple districts of the city.

The attack comes as Russia and Ukraine intensify cross-border strikes, with the incident unfolding on the opening day of St Petersburg's annual economic forum, often dubbed Russia's answer to Davos and a key platform for attracting foreign investment.
