Summary
A new explosion was reported at the Ust-Luga oil terminal near St. Petersburg, marking another blast at a key Russian energy site.
The latest report said this incident was not caused by a Ukrainian drone, distinguishing it from many recent strikes on Russian fuel and industrial infrastructure.
The blast came as Ukraine was also reported to have hit a chemical plant in Samara, an oil refinery in Tatarstan and two Russian training sites.
Ust-Luga is one of Russia’s major Baltic export hubs, so repeated disruptions there underscore the widening pressure on energy and logistics facilities deep inside Russia.
