An explosion at a major gas export terminal near the city
of St Petersburg in Russia was carried out by Ukrainian
drones, BBC News has been told.

The blast caused a large fire at the Ust-Luga terminal,
but no injuries, Russian officials said.

An official source in Kyiv said the "special operation"
of the SBU security service masterminded the attack, with
drones that worked "on target".

Both Russia and Ukraine have used drones in the current
conflict.

An eyewitness is heard saying the ground shook beneath
his feet with the explosions.

The Russian Telegram channel Mash quotes a source saying
they heard two explosions before the fire. The channel
says around 150 staff were evacuated from the terminal.

Another video - posted on Russian social media - appears
to show huge balls of orange fire, a man's voice is heard
referring to hearing the buzzing of a drone before the
explosion.

.. . .

I checked ... St. Petersburg is about 630 miles from
Kyiv - and the drones probably would have had to fly
over Belarus on their way there. Clearly Russia didn't
even notice them.

The other possibility is that they were launched off
of some kind of commercial ship, much closer to
the city. This would cause fallout, big problems
for all shipping, as Russia would go nuts looking
for similar attack vessels.

This is a rather long-range attack for Ukraine. These
were not garage-built drones. Some facilities inside
Russia have been hit before, but mostly with missiles
and mostly at half that range. Ukraine DID manage to
attack a critical rail tunnel deep inside Russia of
late - one carrying Chinese/NK arms - but reports
suggest infiltrators rather than missiles.

The selected target today was large and provided a lot
of fuel for the Russian army. Both sides have put effort
into hitting energy infrastructure. No gas, no war.
