FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure intensified on 5 April, with Ukrainian drone attacks causing fuel leaks at the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk and sparking a fire at the NORSI oil refinery, according to Russian authorities. At Primorsk, one of Russia’s key oil export hubs, officials in the Leningrad region first reported pipeline damage but later clarified that a fuel reservoir had been hit by shrapnel, causing a leak, Reuters reports. The port, which can handle up to 1 million barrels per day, has already been significantly affected by earlier attacks, with reports suggesting it lost around 40% of its storage capacity last month due to repeated strikes and related disruptions.
