Ukrainian Attack Hits Oil Terminal and Russian Ship in Ust-Luga
Drone operation damaged port infrastructure and a military vessel in the Leningrad region.
The Security Service of Ukraine confirmed a nighttime operation against the Russian port of Ust-Luga. Drones struck oil terminals and transport infrastructure in the Leningrad region on Wednesday, November 11.
The offensive caused damage to five fuel tanks with a total capacity of 150,000 cubic meters. There was an oil spill and large fires at cracking units and pumping stations on the site.
In addition to the port facilities, the operation destroyed the Naro-Fominsk ship. The Russian vessel had the capacity to carry Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles.
Rescue teams worked to combat fires at the Novatek terminals and nearby railway areas. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine states that the goal was to reduce the revenue Moscow earns from oil sales.
The direct impact on Russian energy export logistics increases global geopolitical instability. This scenario raises the perception of risk in international markets and may influence the volatility of the dollar and Bitcoin.
