Petersbug&#8217;s Krasnogvardeisky district early on March 2, the city&#8217;s governor, Alexander Beglov, reported.<\/p>\n<p>The governor&#8217;s statement comes amid claims spread on Russian Telegram channels that Russia&#8217;s second-largest city came under a Ukrainian drone attack.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Mash Telegram channel, the likely target was the Ruchi oil depot northeast of St. Petersburg, less than one kilometer from the crash site.<\/p>\n<p>Footage published on Mash shows damaged balconies of a multi-story residential building and what the authors claim to be a fragment of a drone.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 720px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-lightbox caas-img-loader
