Russia's Primorsk port hit as Ukraine launches wave of drone strikes

Ukrainian drones attacked Russia's Baltic Sea port of Primorsk on Sunday, temporarily setting it on fire, local governor Alexander Drozdenko said on the Telegram messaging app, as Kyiv launched a wave of strikes on targets across the country.

Drozdenko said more than 60 drones were downed overnight over Russia's northwestern Leningrad region. There was no oil spill following the attack ⁠on Primorsk, a major oil exporting outlet, and the fire was extinguished, he added.

Primorsk, one of Russia's largest export gateways, has capacity to handle 1 million barrels per day of oil supply. It has been hit multiple times in recent months as Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and other targets as U.S.-brokered talks to end the Ukraine war have stalled.
