Ukraine and Russia reported extensive cross-border attacks over the weekend as both sides accused the other of targeting energy infrastructure.
A Ukrainian drone attack on St Petersburg killed at least one person and injured five, Governor Alexander Beglov said Sunday. Fires broke out at an oil terminal, an oil depot and industrial warehouses, while residential buildings were also damaged and airport operations restricted. Leningrad regional Governor Alexander Drozdenko said 145 drones were downed and about 20,000 people lost electricity. Russia’s Defence Ministry claimed 1,015 Ukrainian drones were neutralised nationwide overnight.
In Ukraine, Russian overnight strikes killed two people and injured 12, including two children, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. He reported attacks on substations in four regions and said Russia had struck Ukraine’s energy and oil-and-gas sectors 76 times since US President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire a week earlier. Zelensky said Kyiv would resume attacks on Russian refineries because Moscow had violated the arrangement.
Ukraine’s General Staff separately said its forces struck a Russian Nebo-U long-range radar near Magri in Krasnodar Krai on October 16. It estimated the system’s value at about $100 million but did not identify the weapon used or detail the damage.
Battlefield accounts remained disputed. Russia said it captured eight Ukrainian settlements, including Dobropillia in Donetsk region, while Ukraine said it retained control of the town and rejected Moscow’s wider territorial claims. The battlefield reports could not be independently verified.
