Hitting the main artery of the Baltic Sea: the largest Russian port of Ost-Luga is on fire, the air defense shot down its plane.
On the night of November 11, the country's main Baltic export hub, 100 km from St. Petersburg, was attacked. The glow from the fire is so strong that it can be seen even from Estonia.
A fire broke out in the port area, three workers were injured and the transformer station was disconnected. According to preliminary data, tankers were damaged in the water area and in the coastal complex of JSC Forest Terminal Factor. Up to 30 million tons of petroleum products per year flow through this center.
The alarm was declared in the region of Leningrad and St. Petersburg. The sky in Pulkovo was closed, which caused disruptions in flights to Kaliningrad.
The authorities reported about 150 drones shot down throughout the region (and 627 throughout the country).
However, in the field the picture is different - the air defense teams themselves complain that due to bad weather and visibility, their unit did not shoot down a single device, and the only confirmed UAV was in the account of the neighbors.
At the same time, military reporters report the loss of their own plane with its crew in the area - the plane was shot down by friendly fire while repelling an attack.
For Ost-Luga, such attacks have become routine: since January 2024, this is at least the tenth attack on the port, and in 2026, they occur regularly.
Honestly - that's the point.
We speak - others remain silent.
