Ukraine has shot down more than 1,000 drones in Russia. The attack on Sunday targeted an oil export terminal and an oil depot in St. Petersburg.
Local governor Alexander Beglov said that one person was killed and five were injured in the attack. According to the Ministry of Defense of Russia, 1,150 Ukrainian drones have been shot down in 15 Russian territories, Crimea and the Black Sea region. The logistics center of Russian retail company Ozone and the data center of technology company VK were also targeted in the attack.
Meanwhile, a woman was killed and at least two others, including a 6-year-old girl, were injured in a Russian attack in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia.
US President Donald Trump has criticized Ukraine's attack on Russian energy infrastructure. He said that no decision has been taken on imposing additional sanctions on Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said lifting sanctions against Russia will strengthen Russian President Vladimir Putin's war effort. According to him, Russia has attacked Ukraine's energy, oil and gas infrastructure 76 times in a week. Due to these attacks, thousands of families have been deprived of electricity service.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has apologized for the drone's entry into Lithuania's airspace. A spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said the drone may have been diverted from its course by Russian electronic warfare systems. Although one car was damaged in the incident, no one was injured.
