Overnight strikes on St Petersburg struck multiple energy assets and a social‑media data centre, killing at least one person, according to reports from local authorities. The attack damaged oil facilities in and around the city and also hit a data centre used by a platform often described as Russia’s equivalent of Facebook.
The strikes prompted emergency responses as crews worked at the impacted sites. Details on the extent of the damage to infrastructure and any broader disruption to fuel supplies or online services were not immediately available.
It was not clear who carried out the operation or whether any group had claimed responsibility. Authorities have provided limited public information, and reporting on the incident remains ongoing.
The incident adds to a pattern of attacks on infrastructure in the region. Further updates are expected as investigators and officials release more detailed findings and casualty figures.
