Ukrainian Drone Attacks Disrupt Russian Oil and Gas Operations

Security Service of Ukraine Claims Responsibility for Strikes, Causing Significant Damage and Forcing Russia to Redeploy Air Defense Systems

Ukrainian drone attacks have caused significant damage to Russia's oil and gas infrastructure, including the Novatek LNG terminal and Ust-Luga Oil terminal in the Leningrad region. The attacks have resulted in the suspension of operations and evacuation of staff.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which have caused not only economic losses but also a major reputational blow to Russia.
Reports suggest that the attacks have forced Russia to divert more air defense systems from the frontlines in Ukraine to better protect their own infrastructure.
Despite the severity of the incidents, no casualties have been reported from the attacks on the oil and gas terminals.
Meanwhile, at least 25 people were killed in a shelling at a market in Russian-occupied Ukraine, with local officials blaming the Ukrainian military for the attack.
