March 31 (UPI) -- Ukrainian drones struck a key Russian oil export hub on the Baltic Sea overnight, adding to fires still raging from a string of attacks that began on Wednesday.
Leningrad region Gov. Alexander Drozdenko said three people were injured, two of them children, and that the Ust-Luga Port and residential properties in a village had sustained damage.
He did not detail the extent of the damage to the port 70-miles west of Saint Petersburg and which handles around a fifth of Russian oil exports, saying only that Russian air defenses had downed 38 drones.
Ukraine drone forces commander Robert Brovdi said Ust-Luga had been hit again "to keep the fire going."
