Ukrainian drones set fire to a St. Petersburg oil terminal ahead of Putin visit

Ukrainian long-range drones struck an oil terminal in St. Petersburg, causing a fire and black smoke as Russian President Vladimir Putin prepared to speak at an economic forum in the city. Russia reported downing 354 Ukrainian drones overnight, while Ukraine targeted oil facilities and weapon production sites, including a naval base in Kronstadt and a plant in Tambov. The attacks come amid reciprocal drone strikes between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides using long-range strikes to disrupt infrastructure and funding.
