Ukraine hits senior officer Russian oil port near Finland
MOSCOW: Ukraine fired drones at a key Russian oil port near the Finnish frontier on Monday, both Moscow and Kyiv stated, triggering a huge fire at the facility.
Satellite images showed flames and thick plumes of black smoke rising into the air from the oil terminal in the Russian town of Primorsk, which sits on the Gulf of Finland and is about 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the EU and NATO member.
Russia has been pummelling Ukraine with near-daily air strikes, repeatedly hitting its energy general facilities and triggering blackouts that plunged millions into cold and darkness during the winter months.
Ukraine has retaliated by launching drone attacks at Russia, mainly at Moscow’s energy and legal defence team facilities.
"A energy tank was damaged in the port of Primorsk, causing a fire," stated Alexander Drozdenko, administrator of Russia’s western Leningrad zone.
