Ukraine's security service claimed it had conducted a successful overnight drone attack on the Ust-Luga gas terminal in the Leningrad region of Russia, multiple Ukrainian media outlets reported, citing sources.

"The Ust-Luga Oil terminal in the Leningrad region is an important facility for the enemy. Fuel is refined there, which, among other things, is also supplied to Russian troops," Interfax-Ukraine news agency cited one source as saying.

A fire broke out overnight at a Baltic Sea terminal belonging to Novatek, Russia's largest liquefied natural gas producer, forcing the company to suspend some operations there.

The Ust-Luga complex is located on the Gulf of Finland, about 170 km west of St. Petersburg.

Alexander Drozdenko, governor of Russia's Leningrad region, said on the Telegram messaging app that there had been no casualties and all workers had been safely evacuated.

Russian news agencies reported that two storage tanks and a pumping station had been damaged, but the fire was now under control.

Novatek said in a statement that it had suspended some operations after the fire, which it said was the result of "external influence."
