SBU together with Defense Forces strike Prymorsk port oil terminal - source
On Monday night, drones of the SBU "Alpha" Special Operations Center, together with other units of the Defense Forces, struck the oil terminal of the Prymorsk port in the Leningrad region, a source in the SBU told Interfax-Ukraine.
"Tonight, drones of the SBU ‘Alpha’ Special Operations Center, together with other units of the Defense Forces (SBS, SSO, GUR, and SBSU), arranged ‘bavovna’ at the oil terminal of the Prymorsk port in the Leningrad region," the agency’s interlocutor said.
According to him, this is the largest Russia oil port on the Baltic Sea and a key export hub: a significant part of oil supplies to foreign markets passes through it, including through the "shadow fleet." In 2025 alone, over 46.6 million tons of oil were handled through the port.
The agency’s interlocutor added that after the attack, a fire started on the territory of the oil terminal.
"Tanks with oil and oil products are burning. Hits and ignition were confirmed by local authorities, who are currently evacuating personnel," he added.
"Every barrel of Russia oil sold is funds that go toward the war against Ukraine. Therefore, the SBU continues systematic work to reduce these revenues. Such special operations will continue until Russia stops its aggression against our state," the SBU source summarized.
