Ukrainian drones ignite oil facility fires in Russia, officials say

Ukrainian drone attacks set two oil facilities ablaze in St. Petersburg on Sunday, killing one person and wounding five, Gov. Alexander Beglov said, according to The Korea Times.

The attacks came amid disputes over an energy ceasefire U.S. President Donald Trump announced Oct. 11 without disclosing details. Zelenskyy said Russia had continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure despite the announcement, The Korea Times reported.

Beglov said the fires broke out at the Petersburg Oil Terminal and Ruchi oil depot, The Korea Times reported. Ozon confirmed that its logistics center was targeted, while VK said its data center was targeted.

Russia's defense ministry said it had destroyed 1,015 Ukrainian drones across 15 Russian regions as well as Crimea and the Black Sea. Ukraine said it had resumed strikes on Russian oil after a three-day pause, according to the newspaper.

In Ukraine, local officials said Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia killed a woman and wounded at least two people, including a 6-year-old girl. Mykhailo Semikin, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, said damage extended to two apartment buildings, 18 cars and an educational institution.

Zelenskyy said Russia had carried out 76 attacks against Ukraine's energy, oil and gas sectors in the week following the ceasefire announcement. He said overnight strikes hit energy facilities in four Ukrainian regions, leaving tens of thousands of families without electricity.

Trump signed an executive order Friday night waiving planned restrictions on Russia on U.S. national interest grounds, according to The Korea Times. In a Sunday post on X, Zelenskyy said Russia was not reciprocating sanctions relief or agreements and called for pressure on Russia.

The terms of the energy ceasefire remained unspecified in Trump's announcement, according to The Korea Times, as Ukraine reported further Russian attacks on energy sites.
