Ukrainian drones strike Leningrad region again, 36 neutralised overnight photo

Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Leningrad region once again overnight, according to an OSINT analysis by ASTRA.

Ukrainian monitoring channels and Russian Z-channels reported a new attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the ports of Primorsk and Ust-Luga during the night of March 26–27. ASTRA geolocated eyewitness video footage captured from a railway crossing near the Transneft-Baltika base — specifically, the Ust-Luga oil depot.

In the morning, Leningrad Oblast Governor Alexander Drozdenko announced that 36 drones had been destroyed in the sky overnight, with no casualties reported.

This marks the third strike on Russian Baltic ports this week. Primorsk and Ust-Luga are Russia’s largest oil ports in the northwest, handling roughly two million barrels of oil per day for export — about 40 per cent of the country’s total oil production. According to Reuters, both ports had already suspended oil shipments as of March 25.
