Fires erupting in the Leningrad region sparked by arrivals; could Ukraine potentially extend its reach that far?
In the latest development, a fire broke out at a gas terminal in Ust-Luga, located in the Leningrad region, following an attack involving Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The incident, however, did not result in any reported damage or casualties.
According to reports, the air defense forces in Ust-Luga successfully managed to destroy 10 UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the night. However, the cause of the UAV attack and the location from which they originated remains unclear.
Experts suggest it is unlikely that the UAVs originated from the territory of present-day Ukraine. While it is possible that they could have flown from the Baltic States, there is no explicit evidence in the available sources of Baltic state air forces employing UAVs for attacks on the Leningrad region.
It is worth noting that the Baltic states themselves do not have known independent air forces conducting UAV attacks against the Leningrad region. Any such attacks, if originating from Baltic territory, would likely be carried out by allied or NATO forces supporting Ukraine rather than national Baltic air forces.
The article does not state whether Ukraine has acknowledged the UAV attack in Ust-Luga. Furthermore, no new information about any response from the Baltic States regarding the UAVs was provided.
