Fire at Russia’s Ust-Luga Oil Port on Baltic After Drone Attack

56 drones were destroyed over the Leningrad region and a fire at the Ust-Luga port was being contained, Governor Alexander Drozdenko said. The incident is the latest strike on Russia's oil export infrastructure, posing downside risk to regional export flows and near-term energy prices and creating a risk-off backdrop for energy, logistics and related supply-chain exposures.
