A fire broke out at Novatek’s terminal in the Ust-Luga port on Russia’s Baltic Sea coast. The fire occurred early on a Sunday, and the cause is suspected to be related to a drone strike, although this hasn’t been officially confirmed. Local residents reportedly heard drones before several explosions at the terminal. Novatek, Russia’s largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), stated that the fire was the result of an external influence, likely tied to Ukraine’s drone attacks, which have increasingly targeted Russian infrastructure during the ongoing war. Thankfully, no casualties were reported, and the port’s personnel were evacuated. The fire led Novatek to pause operations at the facility. Some Russian news outlets also reported seeing drones flying toward St. Petersburg before the fire broke out. This attack follows similar incidents involving drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, part of the broader conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The situation has caused disruptions, but no further significant escalation has been reported as of yet. Let me know if you’d like more details on any part of this.
