Ukrainian drones have struck Russia's key Baltic Sea oil export hub at Ust-Luga again, marking the fifth attack in just 10 days. Industry sources say crude oil loading facilities operated by Transneft were targeted, potentially disrupting Russia’s ability to export crude and petroleum products. The repeated drone strikes are part of Ukraine’s intensified campaign against Russia’s energy infrastructure. Ust Luga is one of Moscow’s most important export terminals, handling around 700000 barrels of crude oil per day and millions of tons of petroleum products annually.

Iranian state media released footage claiming a drone strike targeting Israel’s Haifa port, with reports suggesting the use of long-range Arash suicide drones. The attack marks a continued escalation in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, with both sides increasingly targeting critical infrastructure. The Haifa region hosts key shipping terminals, energy facilities and naval assets, making it a strategic maritime hub. Sirens were reported across northern Israel as missile and drone exchanges continued, with air defences intercepting most incoming projectiles.
