The strike is among Ukraine’s largest aerial attacks against Russia and comes amid continuing escalation targeting energy, oil and gas infrastructure. Russian authorities reported damage and fires in the St Petersburg area, while Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of repeatedly attacking Ukraine’s energy system. The assault underscores the widening reach of the war and raises the risk of further retaliation as diplomatic efforts remain unresolved.
