Russia's Baltic ports halt oil loadings after heavy Ukrainian drone attack, sources say

Source: Reuters

Russia's Baltic ports of Primorsk and Ust-Luga, major export terminals, suspended crude oil and ​oil products loadings on Wednesday, two sources told Reuters, after massive Ukrainian drone attacks sparked blazes, with smoke visible ‌from Finland.

At around the same time that Ust-Luga was hit early ​on Wednesday, two stray Ukrainian drones landed in neighbouring Latvia and Estonia, including one that hit an Estonian power station without ​causing damage.
