Russia's Primorsk oil terminal lost 40% of storage to drone attacks, satellite images show [View all]

Russia's Baltic Sea port of Primorsk, ‌one of country's largest export gateways, lost at least 40% of its storage facilities in Ukrainian drone attacks last month, U.S. commercial satellite images seen by Reuters showed on Thursday.
Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russian ​energy facilities in the past month, launching the heaviest drone strikes on the ​Baltic Sea ports during the more than four-year war.

At some point last month, around ⁠40% of Russia's oil exporting capabilities were shut due to the attacks, closure of the Druzhba ​pipeline in Ukraine and seizure of Russia-linked tankers.
Satellite images from the end of March, supplied by ​U.S. spatial intelligence company Vantor, showed at least eight reservoirs with a capacity of 50,000 cubic metres each were damaged. That amounts to at least 40% of the port's total storage and may force the outlet ​to cut turnover accordingly, traders said.
The reservoirs play an important role in the logistics chain ​at the ports and their availability directly impacts the oil exports.
