The Russian Ministry of Defense, meanwhile, reported that 389 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were neutralized last night.
Modern.az reports, citing Russian media, that according to the information, the drones were mainly shot down over the Leningrad and Moscow regions.
Leningrad region governor Alexander Drozdenko stated that debris fell as a result of a UAV attack on the port of Vysotsk, located on the Baltic Sea coast, approximately 90 kilometers from St. Petersburg. An oil terminal belonging to Lukoil operates in that port.
Russian officials also announced that another 67 UAVs were destroyed over the Leningrad region on the morning of July 4.
The "Exilenova+" monitoring channel claimed that the St. Petersburg oil terminal was hit as a result of the attack. OSINT analysts report that several fires broke out in the terminal area.
Leningrad region governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed the UAV attack, announcing that two unmanned aerial vehicles were neutralized in the morning. No official information was provided regarding the consequences of the attack.
According to Sergey Sternenko, advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, the St. Petersburg oil terminal is one of the largest oil terminals in the Baltic region. The terminal has 21 reservoirs for storing oil products and an annual throughput capacity of 12.5 million tons.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian Defense Forces had previously struck this terminal. Thus, on June 3, 2026, on the eve of the opening of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, UAVs attacked both the St. Petersburg oil terminal and the Russian Navy base in Kronstadt, as a result of which the corvette "Boykiy" was reportedly damaged.
