Ukraine attacks Russian ports on the Baltic Sea
Over the past month, Ukraine has intensified attacks on Russian ports on the Baltic Sea. On March 31, Ukrainian drones hit the port of Ust-Luga and its oil tanks. Three people were injured as a result of the attack.
Earlier attacks on the port and oil storage facilities in Ust-Luga took place on March 25 and 27. Ukrainian drones also hit the oil terminal in Primorsk and the base of the Russian Baltic Fleet in Kronstadt.
Ust-Luga is one of the two largest Russian ports on the Baltic Sea through which Russia exports oil. According to many analysts, the suspension of exports of petroleum products through this port may force large refineries in the European part of Russia to limit their operations.
