Aircraft-type drone with 20-kg warhead crashed on territory of St. Petersburg oil terminal
An aircraft-type drone with a 20-kg warhead was found on the territory of the St. Petersburg oil terminal, the Russian Astra telegram channel reported on Mar. 4.
No one was injured when it crashed during the night attack on Mar. 2.
This is not the first drone attack on the terminal, which was previously targeted on Jan. 18.
It was later revealed that the attack was a special operation of the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. One of the drones flew over the estates of Russian oligarchs and the palace of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
On Jan. 21, Russian Telegram channels reported a fire at the terminal of Novatek, Russia's largest natural gas producer, located in the port of Ust-Luga near St. Petersburg, after a series of explosions.
Informed sources told NV that the attack on the marine terminal was a special operation by the SBU. This facility, in particular, processes fuel for the occupation forces. According to the sources, after the attack, the tankers went offshore, and Russia was forced to redeploy air defense systems from the front.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
