Ukrainian Drone Strike Damages Infrastructure at Ust-Luga Port for Fourth Time
Ukrainian drones successfully attacked the Russian Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga on March 31, 2026, marking the fourth such strike in a single week. Leningrad region Governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed damage to the port's infrastructure, though dozens of drones were reportedly intercepted by air defenses. The persistent targeting of this major energy hub has significantly degraded Russia's oil export capacity, contributing to a reported forty percent loss in export volume during the month of March.
