Ukrainian drone attacks overnight have struck key Russian energy infrastructure, forcing a 50% capacity cut at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and sparking a major fire at Novatek’s Ust-Luga fuel export terminal.

Russian officials said air defences intercepted a drone near the Kursk plant, damaging an auxiliary transformer at reactor No. 3. The resulting fire was quickly extinguished, with no injuries reported and radiation levels remaining normal.

In Russia’s Leningrad region, debris from downed drones ignited a blaze at the Ust-Luga terminal — a major Baltic Sea hub for processing and exporting fuel products. Emergency crews contained the fire, and no casualties were reported.

Moscow claimed its forces destroyed 95 Ukrainian drones across 13 regions overnight, while flights at several airports, including St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo, were temporarily halted due to the attacks.

Kyiv has not commented on the latest strikes but has previously said such operations target infrastructure critical to Russia’s war effort.
