Ukraine Strikes Key Russian Oil Port for the Sixth Time This Year

A fire broke out at Russia’s Ust-Luga oil terminal on the Baltic Sea after Ukrainian drone attacks, marking the sixth such strike on the facility this year. The port handles nearly half of Russia’s regional oil exports, making it a critical hub for Moscow’s energy trade. Local officials confirmed the blaze but did not report any casualties. The repeated attacks highlight Ukraine’s growing ability to hit deep inside Russian territory, disrupting key economic infrastructure. The full impact on oil shipments remains unclear, but the strikes add fresh pressure on Russia’s export operations.
