Big Ukrainian attack on Saint Petersburg last night

Pictures and video on social media show the Ukrainian drones flying in over Saint Petersburg, roughly 850 kilometers from Ukraine, and explosions as Russian air defenses return fire. The attack began at 02:30 on the night of Sunday, local time.

The drone attack is described as "massive" in Russia, and the governor of the Leningrad region states that 127 drones were shot down. Falling rubble must have hit parked cars, according to the governor.

One of the targets of the attack was the large oil terminal in the port of Saint Petersburg, which is one of Russia's largest for the storage and export of oil. There are reports of explosions and fires from the terminal.

Another target was the data center of the social media company VKontakte. Ukraine has previously repeatedly attacked Yandex data centers, described as Russia's Google.

Several videos also reportedly show how an eight-lane road bridge is hit by a drone, and a substation is also said to have been hit, which caused a power outage.
