Drones strike Russian fuel reservoir and NORSI oil refinery
Russian officials reported a fuel leak at Primorsk and a fire at the NORSI refinery after drone strikes Sunday. No injuries were reported following the attacks.
Russian energy infrastructure faced significant disruptions on Sunday as drone attacks struck a major export port and one of the nation's largest refineries. The incidents in Russia are part of an intensified campaign by Ukraine to target the financial and logistical pillars of the Kremlin's military operations. These developments continue to pressure global energy benchmarks, including Brent Crude Oil and West Texas Oil, as traders assess the risk of prolonged supply outages.
At the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk, a fuel reservoir leaked after being struck by shrapnel during an aerial assault. Alexander Drozdenko, the governor of the Leningrad region, initially reported damage to a pipeline but later clarified the nature of the incident via the Telegram messaging app.
