"Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Depot with Domestic-Made Drone, Russia Downs Drone Over St. Petersburg"

Russian air defense systems intercepted a drone over St. Petersburg, the first such incident in the city since the invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago. The drone was destroyed over the Moscow region, and another was intercepted over the Leningrad region. No injuries were reported, but flights at Pulkovo International Airport were briefly grounded. The St. Petersburg Oil Terminal was targeted in the attack, with the co-owner crediting the Russian air defense units for preventing a potential catastrophe. Ukrainian intelligence sources claim the drone strike was part of a special operation, with confirmed strikes on unidentified targets. Additionally, a drone was intercepted near Podolsk, and a thwarted rocket attack in the Belgorod region resulted in one woman being hospitalized with shrapnel wounds.
