Russian Port Resumes Operations Following Drone Attack
The Ust-Luga port, located approximately 100 kilometers west of St. Petersburg, has reportedly resumed cargo loading operations after sustaining damage from Ukrainian drone strikes last month.
According to Bloomberg, the port, a key export facility for oil tankers associated with Russia’s shadow fleet, was impacted by a fire resulting from the attacks. These vessels, often operating under foreign flags, are utilized by Russia to circumvent Western oil sanctions. This information was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk on April 6, 2026.
