Ukrainian drones strike St. Petersburg oil terminal, blaze reported

newsJul 4, 2026322,727

Ukrainian drones struck a major oil storage and export terminal in St. Petersburg in the early hours of July 4, triggering explosions around 6:30 a.m. and sending black plumes of smoke over the port area. The terminal on the Gulf of Finland is one of Russia's largest, with a reported throughput of 12.5 million tons per year. Residents and local channels reported long-range drones over the Leningrad region and footage showed fire rising from the port and terminal facilities. EA WorldView notes Kyiv previously struck the same St. Petersburg terminal in early June, damage that disrupted Vladimir Putin's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The same report says Ukraine also set fire to a ferry terminal and an airfield in Russian-occupied Crimea and that a missile strike on Belgorod disrupted power and water there. Industry sources cited in the report say a separate drone attack recently forced Lukoil-Nizhegorodorgsintez to halt operations after damage to a primary crude processing unit responsible for 53 percent of its capacity.

Words cannot express Russia's depravity in killing Ukrainian civilians for Putin's sick, imperialist goals. Hit Moscow and St. Petersburg harder. Russia must face the consequences of the war it began.

Ukraine’s SBU opened proceedings against Russian Gen. Valery Gerasimov over alleged organization of mass missile and drone attacks on civilian infrastructure, including the July 2 strike on Kyiv and the region. The case cites violations of the laws and customs of war. #Ukraine

Guess the HUR will be ahead of these proceedings, with their own interventions.

Peace Duck sounds a lot like Pizdak = which means "trap" as in "shut your trap" or "shut your f*cking piehole". Thank you for your attention.

🇵🇱 The Telegraph/Onet: The US warns Russia may stage an armed provocation against Poland or the Baltics within months – from drone strikes to a border incursion. Moscow could blame GPS failure and push talks to weaken support for Ukraine. NATO may strike Kaliningrad.

Oriel2

GPS failure or not the immediate response from Nato forces on the ground should be to turn any "lost" Russians into pink mist.

Ciudad De Escanaba1

I seriously doubt that Russia would do that. In the shape they're in, they SERIOUSLY don't want any part of NATO right about now. Unless of course a key member were to perhaps betray NATO in favor of Russia, like y'know, if Putin had a friend in high places or something.
