On the night of January 21, explosions were reported in several regions of Russia, including Tula, Smolensk, Oryol, and Leningrad regions. The blasts in the Ust-Luga port in the Leningrad region were the most destructive, from where natural gas is transported, the BBC reports.
Russian authorities claim that in some cases, the explosions were caused by attacks from Ukrainian drones, while in others, like in Ust-Luga, they reported blasts without stating any specific reasons.
Initially, Russian authorities insisted that the attacks did not achieve their intended goals or were not highly destructive. However, photographs and videos on social media show fire and significant explosions in all four regions.
It is now known that the fire at the terminal had serious consequences, hampering the operation of the facility.
According to sources at the Ukrainian news agency Suspilne, the overnight attack on the seaport terminal in Ust-Luga was a special operation carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The SBU drones struck their targets with precision, sparking a large-scale fire that continues to rage, and the Russians were forced to evacuate their personnel.
“The Ust-Luga Oil terminal in the Leningrad region is an important facility for the Russians. It processes fuel, which, among other destinations, goes to the Russian armed forces. A successful attack on such a terminal not only inflicts economic damage on the enemy, depriving the occupiers of the means to fund their war in Ukraine but also significantly complicates the logistics of fuel for Russian military operations,” said Suspilne’s source.
Not a minute too early! Blow that cash revenue stream sky high! And bonus for all the potential, future, soldiers now not making it to the frontlines as they got enough of freezing while at home
Can’t wait to see the satellite photos of these strikes. Great news! Slava Ukraine!
But will it be enough? These are super important and I’m sure there’s a point at which they do yield results but have we seen any signs of Russians struggling to supply fuel along their lines after similar attacks in the past?
I hope Ukraine has been building up to a relentless attack like this every day for weeks.
Seems that the scope is going for the cash cow of Putin
Poor POS bullies. Fanciful delusions of former glories…. So desperate for empire.
