Beglov Says Drone Attack Killed One and Injured Five in St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said an overnight drone attack killed one person and left five hospitalized on October 18. He reported damage to 12 apartment buildings and two private houses, while emergency crews continued fighting fires at the Petersburg Oil Terminal, Ruchi oil depot and industrial warehouses in Kolpinsky district. Restoration work was underway and residents evacuated overnight were returning home, he said. Beglov also said the aerial danger had ended, while the operational headquarters continued its work.
