Ukrainian Drone Strike Burns Russian LNG Terminal for Three Days
On December 5, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) launched a drone strike on a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal within Russia’s Temryuk Seaport, resulting in a three-day fire. The SBU’s Alpha special operations unit conducted the attack, targeting the Maktren-Nafta production facilities. The strike destroyed roughly 70% of the facility’s fuel tanks, along with railway tankers and related infrastructure. This operation aligns with the SBU’s ongoing efforts to cripple Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure, which supports the war against Ukraine.
