    Ukraine's Defence Intelligence strikes Russian Novatek-Ust-Luga oil refinery supporting war against Ukraine – photo, videos Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has confirmed that the Novatek-Ust-Luga oil refinery and port in Russia's Leningrad Oblast, near St Petersburg, was struck on the morning of 1 September. Source: Ukraine's Defence Intelligence (DIU) Quote: "On 1 September 2026, operators from the Active Operations Department and the Unmanned Systems Department of DIU, as part of a joint deep-strike operation with Ukraine's defence forces, struck the Novatek-Ust-Luga facility in Russia's Leningrad Oblast." Details: Key components of the oil processing unit and technological equipment were hit. The attack also caused a large-scale fire at the plant. The Novatek-Ust-Luga production and export complex is designed for the fractionation and processing of stable gas condensate. Its capacity is almost 8 million tonnes of feedstock per year. DIU noted that the facility is involved in supporting Russia's war against Ukraine. Background: Ust-Luga is one of Russia's largest commercial seaports on the Baltic Sea. Ust-Luga has repeatedly been targeted by drone attacks. Significant volumes of

    The Main Intelligence Directorate confirmed a strike on the oil complex in the port of Ust-Luga On the night of August 31 to September 1, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the “Novatek-Ust-Luga” complex in Russia’s Leningrad Oblast. Ukrainian intelligence reported that key oil facilities had been destroyed. The operation took place on the night of August 31 to September 1. The complex is located in the Russian port of Ust-Luga and is of critical importance to the Russian Federation’s oil infrastructure. According to Ukrainian officers, the strike was carried out by operators from the Ministry’s Department of Active Operations and Department of Unmanned Systems as part of Operation Deepstrike, conducted jointly with the Defense Forces. “Key elements of the oil refinery and process equipment were struck—a massive fire broke out at the plant, which is supporting the criminal war against Ukraine,” the Main Intelligence Directorate concluded. Earlier, it was reported that on the night of September 1, drones attacked the port area of Ust-Luga (Leningrad Oblast). “As a result of the UAV attack, damage was recorded

    Drone strike sparks fresh fire at Russia’s Ust-Luga port A fresh Ukrainian drone attack has sparked a fire and caused damage at Ust-Luga, one of Russia’s most important Baltic export ports. Alexander Drozdenko, governor of Russia’s Leningrad region, confirmed damage inside the port zone early on Tuesday, with emergency services responding while the attack was still being repelled. Russian authorities claimed 44 drones had been shot down across the region overnight. The exact facility hit and scale of the damage have yet to be confirmed. Yanos, one of Russia’s five largest oil refineries and a major supplier to Moscow and central Russia, has reportedly suspended two of its three crude distillation units following the Ukrainian drone strike. Ust-Luga handles large volumes of crude oil, petroleum products, coal, LNG, gas condensate and fertilisers, making it one of Russia’s most strategically important gateways. Tuesday’s attack is far from the first. Splash reported on August 14 that Ukrainian drones had again targeted Ust-Luga, including facilities linked to Russian gas producer Novatek. The port was also subjected to an intense series of strikes in March. A March 25 attack set the

The governor added that defense forces were actively attempting to repel the incoming drone waves. "Damage has been recorded across the Ust-Luga port zone following a UAV attack, resulting in a fire," the official statement read. "Emergency response units are operating on site. Information regarding the extent of the damage is being clarified. Air defense operations remain underway." On Aug. 14, uncrewed aerial vehicles struck the port of Ust-Luga, triggering a blaze. In late March, Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) confirmed that Ukrainian long-range strike drones successfully hit oil terminal infrastructure inside the port of Ust-Luga in Russia's Leningrad Oblast. Satellite imagery corroborated intense, prolonged fires at both the Primorsk and Ust-Luga port complexes. Following the series of deep strikes, Russian ports along the Baltic Sea saw crude oil shipment volumes plummet to

22. Ukrainian Drone Attack Sparks Fire at Ust-Luga Port - The Moscow Times The Moscow Times

    Ukrainian Drone Attack Sparks Fire at Ust-Luga Port A Ukrainian drone attack ignited a fire at northwestern Russia’s Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga, a major hub for oil exports, local authorities said early Tuesday. Leningrad region Governor Alexander Drozdenko said air defense units intercepted 52 drones during a four-hour assault over the region. “Damage and fire were recorded in the Ust-Luga port area as a result of the drone attack,” he wrote on Telegram, adding later that there were no casualties. By around 9:30 a.m. Moscow time, Drozdenko said the fire was extinguished. Ust-Luga, Russia’s largest shipping terminal on the Baltic Sea and second-largest nationwide behind Novorossiysk, was previously attacked by Ukrainian drones and caught fire on Aug. 14. According to Reuters, Ust-Luga handles 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Last year, more than 32.8 million metric tons of refined products were exported through the port.

23. Ukraine's Double-Barreled Drone Strikes Snarl Russian Oil Flows Energy Connects

    Home News Oil Ukraine's Double-Barreled Drone Strikes Snarl Russian Oil Flows By Bloomberg Aug 25, 2026 Photographer: Marcelo del Pozo/Bloomberg (Bloomberg) -- Ukraine’s two-pronged attacks on Russia’s oil refineries and Black Sea ports are hitting the country’s fuel supplies and at the same time preventing Moscow from diverting crude into exports. In the four weeks through Aug. 23, overseas crude flows fell to 3.46 million barrels a day, tanker-movements data compiled by Bloomberg show. Shipments had previously risen as the strikes on Russia’s refineries left more crude available for export, but that increase is now unwinding, after drone hits on oil tankers cut shipments from the Black Sea. That’s led Moscow to redirect Kazakh barrels to its Black Sea port at Novorossiysk in order to free up space for its own crude at the Baltic Ust-Luga terminal, which is seen as less vulnerable to Kyiv’s attacks. Meanwhile, strikes on Russian oil and gas processing plants continue to be an almost nightly occurrence, sending crude processing rates tumbling and creating domestic gasoline supply issues. Falling Russian crude shipments come on top of Kremlin-imposed bans on overseas shipments of ke

24. Ukraine confirms drone strike on Russia’s Ust-Luga port The Kyiv Independent

    Ukraine confirms drone strike on Russia’s Ust-Luga port Editor's note: This is a developing story and is being updated. Ukrainian drones struck the Novatek-Ust-Luga complex at Russia’s Baltic Sea port in Leningrad Oblast early on Sept. 1, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) confirmed. The strike damaged key components of an oil-processing unit and other technological equipment, causing a large fire at the facility, according to HUR. The operation was carried out jointly by HUR’s Active Operations Department, its Unmanned Systems Department, and other Ukrainian defense forces, the agency said. Ust-Luga is one of Russia's largest and most important ports on the Baltic Sea and home to an oil terminal that serves as a major hub for the export of crude oil and petroleum products. Located west of St. Petersburg, far from Ukraine's border, the port plays an important role in generating revenue for the state budget. Earlier, Leningrad Oblast Governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed damage at the port. He claimed Russian air defenses had intercepted 38 drones across the region, including 17 near Ust-Luga. Russian air defense reported downing dozens of drones over the region in the ho

    Drone debris damages Russia’s Ust-Luga, Vysotsk ports, other regions report attacks I detriti di un drone danneggiano i porti russi di Ust-Luga e Vysotsk; altre regioni segnalano attacchi Copia link Email Facebook X Telegram LinkedIn Whatsapp Reddit MOSCOW, July 6 (Reuters) - Ukrainian drone attacks on Monday damaged the Baltic Sea ports of Vysotsk and Ust-Luga, a major oil exporting outlet, and caused a power blackout in the Crimean city of Sevastopol, home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, authorities said. Local governor Alexander Drozdenko said on the Telegram messaging app that 56 Ukrainian drones have been shot down in recent attacks in the region. Ust-Luga is one of Russia’s largest outlets for exporting oil and other products. Ukraine has previously targeted the port as well as other Russian energy targets in efforts to undermine Moscow’s war efforts. Exports from the Baltic ports of Primorsk and Ust-Luga, along with the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk reached nearly a record-high 3 million barrels per day in June, according to sources. The spate of Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries in Russia has led to fuel shortages, price spikes and long queues at fuel filling stations. Seve
