Ukraine's Deep Strikes: How Drones Devastate Russian Oil, Ports, and Navy

Ukrainian drones struck Russia's Omsk oil refinery and the strategic Baltic port of Ust-Luga on November 11, causing massive fires and damaging fuel infrastructure over 2,500 kilometers from Ukraine's border. The attack on Ust-Luga, planned by Ukraine's Security Service, destroyed at least five fuel storage tanks totaling 150,000 cubic meters and hit terminals, a tanker berth, and a pumping station. Russia loses over $50 million daily through this port, which exports 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Ukrainian drones also damaged the missile ship "Naro-Fominsk" and struck the Kirishi refinery on November 9. On November 12, an unidentified explosion killed a Russian Air Force colonel near St. Petersburg, following a similar incident in August.
