Following another attack by Ukrainian drones, an oil terminal in the Russian port of Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea was damaged. This could further complicate Russia's oil exports, writes Reuters, citing industry sources.

According to agency sources, the strikes targeted facilities used for loading crude oil. These facilities belong to Transneft, the company that manages oil pipelines.
The port of Ust-Luga is an important hub for oil processing and export. Previously, large volumes of raw materials passed through it daily, with annual exports reaching tens of millions of tons.
It is reported that due to similar attacks and other problems, a significant part of Russia's oil export capabilities has already been disrupted.
This attack was one of a series of strikes on the region, and the port itself has been attacked several times in recent days. Regional authorities acknowledged the damage, although they claimed most drones were destroyed.
Earlier, Ukrainian special services had already reported strikes on this oil infrastructure, and satellite images confirmed fires in ports after the attacks.
