Ukrainian forces conducted a significant strike on oil facilities in Saint Petersburg, Russia, confirmed by multiple sources. This action occurred despite an alleged US-brokered ceasefire, which appears to be violated by both sides as Russia continues its own strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The durability and enforcement mechanisms of any truce remain highly uncertain.
