Ukraine attacked an oil terminal at the Port of St. Petersburg overnight, Russian officials claimed Saturday.
St. Petersburg Gov. Aleksandr Beglov said the city came under a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack and that air defenses shot down 72 drones. One drone crashed in the Peterhof area.
“The strike hit an oil terminal in the city’s Kirovsky District. The aftermath has been cleared. There were no casualties,” Beglov said.
Local Telegram channels earlier reported a fire at the port’s oil terminal following the overnight attack.
Separately, Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed on Telegram that its air defenses intercepted or destroyed 389 Ukrainian drones over several Russian regions, Crimea, annexed by Moscow in 2014, and the Azov and Black seas.
Ukraine has not commented on the Russian claims, which could not be independently verified.
