Ukraine launched 1,015 drones that struck the St. Petersburg oil terminal and Ruchi depot on Sunday, killing one and wounding five. The attack set the terminal ablaze and sparked fires at the nearby Ruchi depot, according to Governor Alexander Beglov. Kyiv’s strike came amid a three‑day lull in oil attacks that ended after President Trump promised an energy ceasefire.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it destroyed 1,015 Ukrainian drones over 15 regions, including the annexed Crimea and the Black Sea. The figures match the number of drones launched by Kyiv, indicating a full interception.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told state media that Kyiv was “resisting” Moscow’s invasion but could not alter the current course of events. “We remain vigilant against these attacks,” Peskov said.
President Trump announced on Oct. 11 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an energy ceasefire, a move that Kyiv has rejected. Zelenskyy posted on X that Russia had struck Ukraine’s energy, oil and gas sectors 76 times in the week following Trump’s announcement, and that tens of thousands of families remained without power.
A 6‑year‑old girl was among those wounded in Zaporizhzhia after two Russian attacks, and a worker at the St. Petersburg terminal was killed. The damage included two apartment buildings, 18 cars and an educational institution, according to Mykhailo Semikin, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russian oil sites, and the Kremlin has warned of intensified counter‑attacks. Russian forces are preparing to target additional energy infrastructure in the coming days.
