LUGANSK, October 20. /TASS/. Last week’s Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attack on St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region was one of the most massive strikes in the past four years, leaving one civilian dead and 15 others injured, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik told TASS.
"The attack by Ukrainian drones on St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region was one of the most massive in the past four years. In the city on the Neva, one person was killed and five were injured. Twelve high-rise buildings and two private homes were damaged. <…> In the Leningrad Region, 10 civilians were injured. Among the victims was a family from Vsevolozhsk--a mother and her three children who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning during a fire that broke out after a Ukrainian UAV attack," he said.
Miroshnik noted that Ukrainian strikes on the Kolpinsky district of St. Petersburg also ignited fires at the Petersburg Oil Terminal, the Ruchyi oil depot, and industrial warehouses.
