The largest oil port of the aggressor country russia on the Baltic Sea has stopped working after an attack by Ukrainian drones.
It was reported by Reuters with reference to its own sources.
This is a port near the settlement of Primorsk in the west of the Leningrad Oblast. On the night of today, September 12, the port was attacked by drones.
The agency's unnamed interlocutors said that as a result of the UAV attack in the port, the tankers Kusto and Cai Yun caught fire. Both vessels are registered in the Seychelles. The capacity of each tanker is 700,000 barrels.
The governor of the Leningrad Oblast, Alexander Drozdenko, said earlier yesterday that at least 30 drones attacked the region. According to him, one of the vessels caught fire due to the attack in the port.
Bloomberg writes that three oil pumping stations were hit, through which crude oil is supplied to another port - in Ust-Luga.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, yesterday the russian corporation Rosatom stated that during the night UAV attack, one of the drones allegedly exploded on the territory of the Smolensk NPP.
