Il Milan conquista tre punti preziosi contro l’Atalanta al termine di una partita dai due volti. I rossoneri dominano e si portano sul 3-0, ma nella ripresa subiscono la reazione dei bergamaschi, che riaprono la sfida e sfiorano il pareggio. Finisce 3-2 a San Siro, con la squadra di Amorim che sale a 15 punti in classifica.

Milan-Atalanta 3-2, dopo il rigore di Ramos e i gol di Rabiot e Gila arriva la reazione dei bergamaschi

Dopo il netto 4-0 conquistato in Austria contro il Salisburgo, il Milan prosegue il suo percorso di crescita e cominciano a prendere sempre più forma le idee di Ruben Amorim. Contro l’Atalanta, i rossoneri mettono in mostra per oltre un’ora un calcio convincente, fatto di possesso, intensità e qualità nelle giocate offensive. La squadra di Maurizio Sarri fatica a contenere le iniziative dei padroni di casa, che arrivano fino al 3-0 dando l’impressione di aver chiuso la partita. Poi il Milan si spegne, perde sicurezza e concede agli avversari la possibilità di rimettere tutto in discussione. Alla fine arrivano i tre punti, ma anche qualche preoccupazione per un calo che rischia di compromettere una prestazione fino a quel momento di alto livello.

Il Milan parte forte e trova la rete già dopo poco più di dieci minuti con Christian Pulisic, ma il gol viene annullato per una posizione di fuorigioco nell’azione. L’Atalanta risponde con una grande occasione di Nikola Krstovic, che riesce a superare Mike Maignan ma, da posizione defilata, non trova lo specchio della porta. Al 23′ arriva il primo episodio arbitrale della serata. Un fallo di mano nell’area bergamasca porta l’arbitro Daniele Chiffi, dopo l’intervento del Var, ad assegnare un calcio di rigore al Milan. Sul dischetto si presenta Gonçalo Ramos, che non sbaglia e al 24′ firma l’1-0.

Il vantaggio aumenta la fiducia dei rossoneri, che continuano a comandare il gioco mentre l’Atalanta fatica a costruire occasioni. Al 43′ arriva anche il raddoppio, con una splendida iniziativa di Adrien Rabiot. Il francese, ammonito pochi istanti prima e apparso nervoso dopo alcuni contrasti, riesce a liberarsi della marcatura e a battere Carnesecchi con una conclusione precisa e angolata. Il primo tempo si chiude sul 2-0, con un Milan nettamente superiore per qualità della manovra e capacità di rendersi pericoloso.

La ripresa sembra confermare quanto visto nei primi 45 minuti. Un altro fallo di mano in area porta al secondo rigore della serata per il Milan, ma questa volta Gonçalo Ramos si fa ipnotizzare da Carnesecchi, bravo a intuire la conclusione e respingere il tiro. Sul calcio d’angolo successivo, però, Luka Modric disegna una traiettoria sul primo palo, Rabiot prolunga di testa e Mario Gila trova il gol del 3-0, il primo con la maglia rossonera.

Con tre reti di vantaggio, il Milan sembra avere ormai il controllo della partita. L’Atalanta, tuttavia, comincia a trovare maggiore spazio e al 64′ va vicinissima al gol con Krstovic, che colpisce il palo con una conclusione potente. È il primo vero campanello d’allarme per i rossoneri. Due minuti più tardi, al 66′, Gianluca Gaetano si inserisce nell’area milanista e trova la rete che accorcia le distanze.

Il Milan perde progressivamente ritmo e lucidità, mentre l’Atalanta prende coraggio e insiste soprattutto sulle corsie esterne. All’81’ è ancora Bellanova a rendersi protagonista sulla fascia e a propiziare il gol di Krstovic, che firma il 3-2 e riapre definitivamente la partita. I rossoneri, dopo aver espresso un calcio di alto livello per gran parte della gara, si ritrovano improvvisamente a difendere un vantaggio diventato minimo.

Il momento più pericoloso arriva poco dopo, quando Zappacosta si presenta davanti a Maignan e trova la grande risposta del portiere francese, decisivo nell’evitare il pareggio. L’Atalanta continua a spingere, cercando soprattutto palloni da mettere al centro dell’area, ma senza riuscire a costruire altre occasioni altrettanto nitide. Nel finale il Milan ha anche la possibilità di chiudere definitivamente la sfida con Ramos, senza però trovare la quarta rete.

Finisce 3-2 per il Milan, che conquista il secondo successo consecutivo tra Europa League e campionato e sale a 15 punti. Amorim può essere soddisfatto per la qualità del gioco mostrata fino al 3-0, ma dovrà lavorare sulla gestione dei momenti della partita e sulla tenuta della squadra quando gli avversari alzano la pressione. L’Atalanta esce sconfitta da San Siro, dopo aver sfiorato una rimonta che, per come si era sviluppato il primo tempo, sembrava improbabile.

On the night of October 18, the Russian Armed Forces carried out group strikes using unmanned aerial vehicles against logistics centers, port infrastructure, and energy facilities in Ukraine. According to a statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the targets included warehouses containing dual-use cargo and vessels used to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In turn, the Ukrainian side carried out a massive drone attack on Russian regions, focusing primarily on St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region: oil terminals, a data center, a distribution center, a boiler house at a thermal power plant, and bridge infrastructure were struck, and residential areas were damaged. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 1,015 Ukrainian UAVs were shot down over Russian territory.

Russian Strikes on Ukraine

Logistics Infrastructure

• Nova Poshta logistics center (Rivne). According to a statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense, the facility was used to store and distribute dual-use cargo, including components for medium- and long-range unmanned aerial vehicles. The center served as part of the logistics chain supplying Ukrainian forces. Damage to the facility complicates the delivery of components for drone assembly in Ukraine’s western regions.

• Polko Group production and warehouse facilities (Manevychi, Volyn Region). The facilities were reportedly involved in the manufacture of explosives and the loading of munitions for long-range drones. The facilities are part of the warehouse infrastructure used to accumulate and transship cargo toward Rivne and neighboring regions.

• Warehouse in the Novomoskovsk area (Dnipropetrovsk Region). The nature of the cargo stored there is not specified in available sources. However, the facility’s location in the industrial area of Dnipropetrovsk Region suggests that it was part of the logistics supply chain supporting Ukrainian Armed Forces groupings in the eastern direction.

• Bulk carrier 30 km east of the Port of Odesa. According to a statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense, a bulk carrier carrying military and dual-use cargo was struck.

Energy Infrastructure

• Prydniprovska Thermal Power Plant (Dnipro, Dnipropetrovsk Region). The Prydniprovska TPP supplied electricity to industrial consumers in the region, including facilities linked to military production.

• Belolesye substation (Odesa Region). The substation supplies electricity to, among other things, port infrastructure and enterprises in the region.

• Critical infrastructure facilities (Vinnytsia Region). Damage to critical infrastructure was reported, accompanied by power outages.

Strikes on distribution substations create local power shortages and complicate the operations of industrial enterprises involved in the production and repair of military equipment.

According to monitoring sources, UAV strikes were also carried out against targets in Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Kharkiv Regions. In addition, during the preceding day, aviation and missile forces struck targets in Donbas, Kherson, Poltava, Cherkasy, and Zhytomyr Regions.

Strikes on Russian Territory

St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region

• St. Petersburg Oil Terminal. A fire was reported on the terminal’s grounds. The facility is part of the marine transshipment infrastructure for petroleum products, including export operations. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 144 UAVs were shot down over Leningrad Region overnight.

• Ruchyi oil depot. The largest fuel terminal in St. Petersburg, with a total capacity of 73,900 cubic meters. A fire was reported.

• VKontakte (VK) data center. The facility in St. Petersburg was attacked. According to the company, all services continued to operate. The data center supports one of Russia’s largest IT platforms; open sources do not cite any direct military use.

• Ozon distribution center. A fire was reported following the attack. The facility is part of civilian logistics infrastructure.

• A boiler house at a local thermal power plant. The extent of the damage and its impact on heat supply were not specified.

• Cable-stayed bridge. According to residents, a UAV struck the bridge connecting the southern and northern parts of St. Petersburg. There is no official information on the condition of the structure. The city experienced major transport disruptions: the central section of the Western High-Speed Diameter was closed, and tram routes were suspended. Pulkovo Airport temporarily suspended arrivals and departures.

• Residential areas. In St. Petersburg, 12 apartment buildings and two private homes were damaged. In Leningrad Region, homes were damaged in Kirovsk, Vsevolozhsk, and Gatchina. In Novoselye, 55 parked cars were damaged. According to the governor, one person was killed, five were injured, and about 20,000 people were left without electricity.

Border and Other Regions

• Oryol Region. A telecommunications tower and a post office building were damaged.

• Bryansk Region. Over the past day, 281 UAVs were shot down. One person was killed and six were injured.

Taken together, the strikes of October 18 point to two separate lines of effort. On the Russian side, the main effort was focused on destroying logistics hubs and maritime transport near Odesa, continuing the campaign to disrupt the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces through western and southern routes. In parallel, strikes targeted power generation and distribution substations, putting additional pressure on Ukraine’s energy system ahead of the heating season.

On the Ukrainian side, the attack had a clear focus on St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region. Damage to oil terminals, a data center, and bridge infrastructure, along with major transport disruptions around the Western High-Speed Diameter, suggests an effort to create a high-impact media and logistics effect in Russia’s largest city. At the same time, a significant portion of the UAVs was shot down—1,015 over Russian territory—which does not change the fact that individual drones did reach their targets.

In the medium term, Russia’s campaign against Ukraine’s logistics chains and energy sector is likely to continue, with an emphasis on western regions and port infrastructure. On the Ukrainian side, long-range drone attacks on sensitive targets in Russian regions, primarily in the Northwestern Federal District, are likely to persist. Key factors will remain air-defense capabilities, the resilience of power grids, and Ukraine’s access to satellite communications for controlling long-range unmanned aerial vehicles.

Ukrainian drones struck St. Petersburg’s oil terminal, a fuel depot, an Ozon distribution center, and a VK data center overnight, setting off fires across the city, monitoring channels reported. Russian outlet Meduza called it apparently the largest attack on the city and Leningrad Oblast since the war began. Russian officials acknowledged fires, damaged homes and substations, and power cuts.

Russia keeps fighting along the front while bombarding Ukrainian cities and the grid behind it. Ukraine’s long-range drones, in turn, target the oil exports and logistics that fund and supply that war, and Russia’s Baltic oil ports have been hit repeatedly this year. St. Petersburg is a symbolic place: Russia’s so-called second capital and Putin’s hometown.

Oil terminal and fuel depot on fire

Ukrainian forces struck the Petersburg Oil Terminal with FP-1 drones, starting a fire, Ukrainian drone maker Fire Point said. The company described the terminal as one of the region’s largest, handling 12.5 million tonnes of petroleum products a year, including for export.

St. Petersburg Governor Aleksandr Beglov acknowledged fires at the terminal and in four city districts, adding that Pulkovo airport had restricted flights. By morning, firefighters were still battling blazes at the terminal, the Ruchyi oil depot, and industrial warehouses in the Kolpinsky district, he wrote. He claimed one person was killed and five injured. Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ reported that the Ruchyi depot had been burning since the night.

Ozon hub, VK data center, and a bridge

An Ozon distribution center in Kolpinsky district caught fire after the attack, the company said, Russian independent outlet Astra reported. Astra’s open-source intelligence analyst described it as one of Ozon’s busiest fulfillment centers in northwestern Russia, covering up to 79,000 m².

FP-1 drones also hit a VK data center in Novosergiyevka, Leningrad Oblast, causing serious damage, Fire Point said. VK acknowledged a drone attack on the site but claimed its services were working normally. Leningrad Oblast Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko claimed air defenses downed 145 drones over the oblast alone. He acknowledged damage to the data center’s transformer equipment and warehouse complex, and minor damage to the Vostochnaya substation. Two other substations in Yanino went offline, cutting power to about 20,000 people, he said.

A drone also hit the cable-stayed bridge over the Korabelny fairway, part of a toll highway linking the city’s north and south, Exilenova+ reported, adding that the extent of the damage was still being clarified. The channel also reported a fire near a Russian Aerospace Forces radar company outside the village of Kaporskoye.

To reach St. Petersburg, Ukrainian drones had to cover 1,000 km across four Russian regions guarded by air defenses and electronic warfare, said Serhii Beskrestnov, adviser to Ukraine’s president on defense technology.

“And these are not cruise missiles with special systems, these are drones that fly at speeds of up to 200 km/h,” he wrote.

Strikes resume after a one-sided truce

The same night, Russia hit Ukraine’s grid again, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy counted 76 Russian strikes on energy since the ceasefire was announced. US President Donald Trump declared the truce on 11 October. Ukraine paused its refinery strikes for three days at Washington’s request, but Russia struck a Kharkiv power plant within hours and kept hitting the grid. Zelenskyy then said Ukraine was resuming strikes on Russian oil and would stop again only in exchange for more US interceptors for its Patriot systems. Trump called the renewed strikes “a disgrace” and said he found Zelenskyy “more difficult to deal with than Putin.”

Ukraine has hit the St. Petersburg area before. In July, drones set fire to Wildberries warehouses near the city. In August, Ukraine began striking Ozon hubs, starting in Samara Oblast. The hubs move dual-use goods such as electronics and drone components.
