The night the Baltic lit up: Defense forces damaged the oil infrastructure of the port of Ost-Luga.
Ost-Luga is one of the key Russian ports in the Baltic Sea, in the Leningrad region. Through its terminals, Russian oil and oil products are exported, and the revenues from them finance the production of missiles and UAVs for attacks in Ukraine. Therefore the port is not the first to be attacked. On the night of November 11, Ukraine's defense forces again attacked its infrastructure.
According to preliminary information, as a result of drone strikes on the port's oil infrastructure, the tank park was the most damaged. Five tanks with oil products with a total volume of 150,000 cubic meters were damaged. There was a large-scale fire.
The production part was also damaged: damage was caused to the hydro-cracking unit, where a fire also broke out, as well as to the air cooling mechanism and the pumping station. The wharf, from which oil products are sent to tankers, was also attacked.
Why it matters: Every tank, facility or berth affected reduces the oil revenue to the attacking country's budget, which finances war and weapons production.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine, exercising the right to self-defense guaranteed by Article 51 of the UN Charter, continue to systematically take measures aimed at undermining the enemy's military and economic potential and forcing the Russian Federation to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine.
the next will be
Glory to Ukraine!
