Russian officials say the St Petersburg region in northwest Russia is hit by a major Ukrainian drone attack overnight. Multiple outlets report that the attacks target both maritime and energy infrastructure in and around the city of St Petersburg. The Leningrad region governor Alexander Drozdenko says drones strike the port of Vysotsk, located on the Gulf of Finland about 170 km northwest of the city. Other reporting describes “large-scale” drone impacts affecting the port area and oil-related facilities, including an oil terminal.

The reports do not provide confirmed details on casualties or the extent of damage in the cited material, and no independent verification is included. Ukrainian authorities are described as saying similar points in the reporting, but specific claims are not detailed beyond the reported locations of strikes.
