Ukraine launches over 1,000 drones at Russia, setting oil facilities ablaze
Is the war entering a new phase? At least one person has been killed, and five others injured after Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia, one of Kyiv's largest aerial strikes in the war. St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said firefighters were battling fires sparked by Sunday's attacks on the St Petersburg oil terminal, the Ruchi oil depot and industrial warehouses in the Kolpinsky district south of the city. The attack disrupted flights at St Petersburg's main airport, one of the country's busiest, which was restricting operations "for safety reasons", Beglov said. Russian e-commerce company Ozon said there was a fire at its logistics hub in St Petersburg.
