A Ukrainian drone attack on St. Petersburg
in Russia on Sunday killed one person,
wounded five others and set an oil export terminal on fire.
A logistics center belonging
to Russian retailer Ozon
and a data center for local tech giant VK were also targeted.
Kiev launched over 1,000 drones across Russia
in one of its largest ever aerial bombardments
since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion
of Ukraine in February of 2022.
A total of 144 drones were shot down over the Leningrad region,
of which drone debris fell on houses,
sparked fires and damaged dozens of vehicles.
It comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said
on Sunday that Russian forces had carried out further
strikes against Ukraine's energy sector on Saturday night.
Zelensky said attacks on residential buildings had
also left two people dead and 12 others reportedly injured.
