Ukraine Strikes Primorsk Oil Port and 2 Tankers, Zelenskyy Says

Ukrainian officials said the strikes damaged oil export infrastructure and two tankers used to move sanctioned crude, as Russia reported more than 60 drones downed.

  • On Sunday, Ukrainian drones attacked Russia's Primorsk port on the Baltic Sea, causing a fire that Leningrad regional governor Alexander Drozdenko said was quickly extinguished.
  • Primorsk handles 1 million barrels of oil daily and is vital to Russia's energy exports; Ukraine is intensifying strikes on energy infrastructure to curb Kremlin revenues.
  • Separately, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed Ukrainian forces struck two shadow fleet tankers near Novorossiysk on the Black Sea, saying, "These tankers had been actively used to transport oil — not anymore."
  • Drone incursions violated airspace in Finland and Estonia overnight, while Moscow regional governor Andrei Vorobyov reported a 77-year-old man died Saturday as Russia faced 334 total drone attacks.
  • Ukraine's armed forces reported their defenses downed 249 out of 268 Russian drone attacks, reflecting intensified strikes on Russian energy infrastructure as U.S.-brokered talks to end the war have stalled.
