Radio Liberty has published a satellite image of Russia’s Baltic export hub in the settlement of Ust-Luga, which was again attacked by Ukrainian drones on 11 November.
The image, taken on 15 November, shows that at least five fuel storage tanks were completely burned out, and traces of firefighting foam remained next to other reservoirs.
Earlier, Russian pro-war Telegram channels reported that during the drone attack on Ust-Luga, defenders shot down three Russian military helicopters. Russia’s Ministry of Defence did not comment on these claims by bloggers.
