Explosions, and as a result, a fire at the sea terminal in the town of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region of the Russian Federation, are reported to be a special operation by the Security Service of Ukraine, according to the RBC-Ukraine's sources.

According to their information, the Security Service of Ukraine utilized drones for precise targeting - the strikes were accurate, resulting in a massive fire that continues to burn. The Russians were compelled to evacuate their personnel.

Important target

"The Ust-Luga oil terminal in the Leningrad region is a crucial target for the enemy. They process fuel there, which, among other things, is supplied to the Russian military," added the source.

According to them, a successful attack on such a terminal not only inflicts economic damage on the enemy, depriving occupiers of the ability to earn money for the war in Ukraine but also significantly complicates the fuel logistics for the Russian military.

Attack on the sea terminal in Russian Ust-Luga

On the night of January 21, an explosion occurred in the area of the oil terminal of the Maritime Trade Port in the town of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region. Residents of nearby towns, located close to the port, reported the sounds of drones flying. Later, a fire broke out. About 150 people had to be evacuated from the enterprise.

It's worth noting that in Russia on the night of January 21, it was "loud" not only in the area of the oil terminal. Explosions were also heard in the Russian city of Tula, where the Shcheglovsky Val plant, producing the Pantsir air defense system, was attacked. This attack, in turn, was the work of Ukrainian intelligence. More details can be found in this material.
