The facility was previously targeted on June 28 and has reportedly come under attack at least five times since December 2025. Ukraine also targeted Russia’s Leningrad region, Governor Alexander Drozdenko said, claiming that 62 drones had been intercepted. According to Drozdenko, the attack damaged infrastructure at the Luga military training ground as well as the seaports of Ust-Luga and Vysotsk. However, no casualties were reported. Ust-Luga is one of Russia’s largest Baltic oil export terminals, handling around 700,000 barrels of oil per day, along with crude oil, fuel oil, and vacuum gas oil. According to Reuters, oil product exports through the port exceeded 32.8 million tons in 2025.
