The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) special forces were involved in last night's attack on the offshore oil terminal in Ust-Luga, Russia, LB.ua has learnt from sources.
According to the sources, SBU drones hit the target, causing a large-scale fire that is still burning, and forcing the Russians to evacuate their employees.
"The Ust-Luga Oil terminal in Leningrad Region is an important facility for Russia. It processes fuel, which, among other things, is supplied to the Russian military. A successful attack on such a terminal not only causes economic damage to the enemy, depriving the occupiers of the opportunity to earn money to wage war in Ukraine, but also significantly complicates the logistics of fuel for the Russian military," the sources add.
Last night, the terminal of the Novatek gas storage facility caught fire in the port of Ust-Luga. Later, information appeared online that drones had attacked the Shcheglovsky Val military plant. Pantsir-S and Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile systems are assembled there.
