On January 4, drones of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) attacked Russiaʼs largest commercial port Ust-Luga, located in the Leningrad region.
This was reported by a source in SBU for Babel.
Ukrainian long-range drones covered more than 900 kilometers, flew almost to St. Petersburg and hit the target.
A video posted online shows one of the drones hitting a gas condensate tank. The impact severely damaged one tank, while three neighbouring tanks were shattered by the explosion. Experts say the repairs will take at least a month, depending on the availability of materials, and will definitely cause disruptions to the terminal.
The Ust-Luga terminal is a major logistics hub in the Baltic Sea, through which Russia sells oil and gas using a shadow fleet.
