Ukraine Launches Drones on Russia, Moscow Reports Interception
Ukraine launched a massive drone attack targeting key infrastructure within Russia, including the Primorsk oil port in the Leningrad region, the final destination of the Baltic Pipeline System, a crucial hub for Russian exports. The aerial assault resulted in a fire at the port, as well as strikes on pumping stations and the reported targeting of Lukoil facilities in other regions. The attack, described as one of the largest in months, also saw drones intercepted over multiple regions, including those around Moscow and St. Petersburg, leading to temporary airport closures. This represents a significant escalation of cross-border drone raids that have been increasingly targeting Russian energy infrastructure in an attempt to limit fuel supplies and raise costs.
