President Volodymyr Zelensky said the targets were critical assets that generate revenue for Russia's war machine. The strikes reached around 850km from Ukraine's border, underscoring Kyiv's growing long-range capabilities.  Energy Lifeline Comes Under Fire St Petersburg Governor Aleksandr Beglov confirmed the city came under a "massive" drone attack overnight, with the oil terminal among the sites hit. He said there were no casualties but urged residents to remain indoors while air defence operations continued. Ukraine's military described the terminal as one of Russia's largest petroleum facilities, with an annual production capacity of 12.5 million tonnes. Footage released by Zelensky showed a drone approaching its target before thick black smoke rose into the sky.  Kyiv Targets Russia's War Economy Ukraine says oil and gas facilities are legitimate military targets because fossil fuel exports help finance Russia's invasion. Kyiv claims its long-range strikes have now disabled nearly 43% of Russia's oil refining capacity, although that figure has not been independently verified. The latest attack comes days after Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian strikes and signed legislation aimed at strengthening domestic fuel supplies.  Naval Base Claim Raises Stakes Ukraine also said it struck the Russian Baltic Fleet's key naval base in Kronstadt. Moscow has not publicly commented on that claim, although Russian authorities said 72 Ukrainian drones were intercepted over St Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region. Russia's defence ministry later claimed more than 500 Ukrainian drones and missiles had been shot down overnight, accusing Kyiv of trying to divert attention from recent Russian battlefield gains.  Battlefield Claims Fuel Information War The exchange unfolded as both sides clashed over the eastern town of Kostyantynivka. Putin claimed Russian forces had established control, but Ukraine flatly rejected the assertion, insisting its troops still hold the town despite Russian infiltration attempts. Zelensky mocked the Kremlin's account, saying Putin would have no difficulty visiting the town if his claims were true. The competing narratives highlight how the war is being fought not only on the battlefield but also through claims, counterclaims and strategic messaging.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8j2vmzxezro</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/fec2f110-779f-11f1-90c7-73fde41eb72e.png.webp.91439192b7a5cd0212b5df06507583f1.webp" length="12794" type="image/webp"/><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 15:28:43 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Extreme Heatwave Disrupts Fourth of July Celebrations</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397996-extreme-heatwave-disrupts-fourth-of-july-celebrations/?do=findComment&comment=20583366]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know why nobody's thought of filling up a few old 747's  or rockets and waterbombing the sun to cool it down a bit.

You blamed it on the liberals that the 4 July events, organised by Trump and his conservatives, had to shut down.  I'm sure you know that is the topic of this thread, or were you to eager to get a post in blaming the liberals for everything ?  Extreme heat has disrupted Fourth of July celebrations across the eastern United States, forcing the temporary closure of the White House's flagship Great American State Fair on the National Mall and prompting organisers to alter or cancel several outdoor events.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 15:27:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thai Woman Reports Indian Boyfriend Over Visa Overstay</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398004-thai-woman-reports-indian-boyfriend-over-visa-overstay/?do=findComment&comment=20583364]]></link><description>So have you risked staying with her?

Now I think the coffee shop is half its size because Hooters occupies much of the previous coffee shop space. Not sure if it is still a popular hotel restaurant now at all and I doubt it does a lunch buffet anymore.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 15:15:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Extreme Heatwave Disrupts Fourth of July Celebrations</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397996-extreme-heatwave-disrupts-fourth-of-july-celebrations/?do=findComment&comment=20583356]]></link><description>So it's because the liberals are melting down, according to your claim, that the events organised by the NON liberals had to shut down?
