The strikes included reported fires at St. Petersburg’s oil terminal, the Ruchi oil depot and industrial facilities, while Russian attacks hit Kyiv, a subway station, a residential tower and a medical facility. Ukrainian officials said tens of thousands of families lost electricity after Russian attacks on energy facilities, and Russian authorities reported casualties and damage from Ukraine’s large-scale drone assault. The breadth of the attacks, their focus on critical infrastructure and the continuing civilian casualties make the developments the most consequential breaking international story in the available coverage.
