Nato jets scramble as Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refinery spill into Baltic airspace

Nato scrambled fighter jets overnight following the intrusion of at least four drones into Baltic airspace during a major Ukrainian strike targeting Russian infrastructure. The cross-border incursions prompted Baltic nations to briefly issue air alarms, while Finland instituted temporary restrictions across its airspace and maritime borders.

Inside Russia, Ukrainian drones struck the Kirishi oil refinery near St. Petersburg, the nation's second-largest fuel processing plant. Local officials confirmed that multiple explosions triggered a fire at the facility, which firefighters subsequently contained. One woman was killed after being struck by falling drone debris.
