Large Ukrainian Drone Raid Sets Fire to St Petersburg Oil Terminal and Ruchi Depot

St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said on Sunday, October 18, 2026 (26 Mehr 1405), that a "massive" Ukrainian drone attack killed at least one person and injured five, with firefighters battling blazes at the St Petersburg oil terminal, the Ruchi oil depot and industrial warehouses in Kolpino. The Leningrad region's governor said 145 drones were shot down and about 20,000 people lost power. Russia's TASS agency called it the largest attack on the region in four years, while Moscow's defence ministry said it neutralised 1,015 Ukrainian drones overnight.\n\nPresident Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Kyiv is done with the "energy ceasefire" announced by Donald Trump and will resume hitting Russian refineries; he accused Moscow of 76 attacks on Ukraine's energy sector since the ceasefire was announced.
