Suspected Ukrainian drone swarm hits St Petersburg port area

Sunday, 18 October 2026, 06:07 · 1 min read

Video posted on social media shows multiple explosions and fires around the port of St Petersburg, Russia, after a suspected Ukrainian drone swarm attack on 18 October 2026. Witnesses say an oil terminal and a data centre were struck, though the claims have not been independently verified. If confirmed, the attack would mark a deep strike on Russia's second-largest city (a major Baltic Sea port and energy export hub), far from the front lines in Ukraine.
