MOSCOW: Russia shot down dozens of Ukrainian drones over Saint Petersburg, authorities said Saturday, with an oil terminal hit and drones falling on a key port as well as a historic palace complex.
The strikes on President Vladimir Putin’s home city came after a massive Russian attack on Kyiv killed 30 people this week.
Ukraine has increasingly hit Russian cities far from the border in retaliation for Moscow’s daily strikes in the offensive since February 2022. “The strike hit the area of an oil terminal in the Kirovsk district of the city. The technical consequences have been resolved. There were no casualties,” Saint Petersburg governor Alexander Beglov said on social media.
