**Ukraine Conducts Drone Attack on Russian Seaport**
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) attacked one of Russia’s largest commercial seaports, Ust-Luga, in Leningrad Oblast. Ukrainian long-range drones flew over 900 kilometers and almost reached St. Petersburg.
According to an intelligence source, the drones hit gas condensate tanks at the port. One tank was heavily damaged, and three others suffered damage from explosive debris. The attack is believed to have caused significant disruptions to the terminal’s operations.
Experts estimate that it will take at least a month to repair the facility. The SBU claims that the attack reduces Russia’s ability to wage war by limiting its access to currency.
