Drone Attack Hits Russian Port Near Finnish Border

A Russian port near the border with Finland was attacked by drones overnight. Authorities reported that over 50 drones were destroyed in the skies over the Leningrad region. The attack caused a fire at a fuel tank in the port of Primorsk, resulting in the immediate evacuation of personnel. The port is strategically located between the border with Finland and St. Petersburg. While the region has seen Ukrainian attacks in the past, it is a significant distance from the main front lines of the Russia-Ukraine war.
