On the night of November 11, Ukrainian drones attacked the port of Ust-Luga in Russia's Leningrad region. The strikes sparked a fire at the facility.

Videos published online show a massive blaze at the port. The governor of the Leningrad region confirmed the attack on the Ust-Luga port area.

According to him, a fire broke out there after several drones struck the facility. Three workers were injured, but their lives are not in danger.

The governor also claimed that 150 drones were shot down over the region overnight. According to TASS estimates, this was the largest attack on the Leningrad region since the beginning of the year.

Meanwhile, as the fire continued to burn, more drones were still approaching the facility.

It is important to note that Ust-Luga is one of Russia's largest ports on the Baltic Sea. Russia uses it to export oil, petroleum products and other raw materials. This makes the facility strategically important for Russian exports and state budget revenues.

Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that major Russian businesses had found themselves in a situation where they would have to defend themselves against Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks on their own.

We also reported that one of Russia's largest oil refineries had come under another Ukrainian Defense Forces strike.
