Ukraine Hits Major Russian Port in 400-Drone Barrage

Russia said a Ukrainian attack sparked a fire at a major port in the country’s northwest in a barrage of almost 400 drones, launched a day after a record Russian aerial assault on Ukraine.

The attack triggered a fire at the Baltic port of Ust-Luga, an oil exporting hub on the Gulf of Finland, close to Russia’s border with Estonia.

The attack came after Russia fired nearly 1,000 drones at Ukraine over a 24-hour period starting on Monday night, killing eight people across the country. (AFP)
