Details
As reported, last night, drones from the SSU’s "Alpha" Special Operations Centre, together with other units of the Defence Forces (USF, SOF, DIU and SBGS), carried out a strike on the oil terminal at the port of Primorsk in the Leningrad Oblast. This is the Russian Federation’s largest oil port on the Baltic Sea and a key export hub. A significant portion of oil supplies to foreign markets passes through it, including via the "shadow fleet".
In 2025 alone, over 46.6 million tonnes of oil passed through it.
Oil tanks are on fire
A fire broke out at the oil terminal following the attack. Tanks containing oil and petroleum products are ablaze. Local authorities have confirmed the strike and the resulting fire and are currently evacuating staff.
"Every barrel of Russian oil sold is money that goes towards the war against Ukraine. Therefore, the SSU continues its systematic work to reduce these revenues. Such special operations will continue until russia stops its aggression against our state," said a well-informed source in the SSU.
