MOSCOW, March 31 (Reuters) - Ukrainian drones on Tuesday struck Russia's Baltic Sea port of ‌Ust-Luga for the fifth time in 10 days, and industry sources told Reuters an oil loading terminal was hit, likely adding to Russia's difficulties in exporting crude.

Kyiv has stepped up attacks on Russia's oil export infrastructure over the past month, ​launching its heaviest drone strikes of the more than four-year war against the Baltic ports of Ust-Luga ​and Primorsk.

At least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity has been halted due to drone ⁠attacks, a disputed strike on a major pipeline and the seizure of tankers, according to Reuters calculations ​based on market data.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that some of Kyiv's allies had sent "signals" about the ​possibility of scaling back its long-range strikes on Russia's oil sector as global energy prices have surged due to the Iran war.

TRANSNEFT OIL TERMINAL HIT

Regional governor Alexander Drozdenko said three people, including two children, were treated for injuries, and several buildings had ​been damaged in the overnight attacks.

In a message on Telegram at 0409 GMT, he said air-raid alerts ​in the region had been lifted but gave no details on damage to the port.

He later said that the aftermath ‌of the ⁠attack on Ust-Luga had been "eliminated" or dealt with. He said the supply of hot water and heating to residential and other units in the region were restored.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the strikes "terrorist attacks," adding that Russia was working on protecting its critical infrastructure.

"This doesn't mean these facilities can be 100% protected from ​such terrorist attacks. However, intensive ​work is being carried ⁠out, and this applies not only to the port ... but to all other critical infrastructure facilities," he told a daily conference call with reporters.

Three industry sources told ​Reuters Ukrainian drones struck crude oil loading facilities operated by Russian pipeline monopoly ​Transneft (TRNF_p.MM), opens new tab in ⁠the latest attack. Transneft did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Ust-Luga, on the south-eastern shore of the Gulf of Finland, is a sprawling complex of oil-processing facilities and export terminals handling crude oil and oil ⁠products.

According to ​source-based data, the port exported 32.9 million metric tons of oil ​products last year. It typically handles about 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

Authorities say Ust-Luga was hit on March 22, 25, ​27, 29 and 31, forcing suspensions of export operations.

消息人士稱，烏克蘭無人機再次襲擊俄羅斯Ust-Luga港，其石油碼頭遇襲

莫斯科，3月31日（路透社） - 烏克蘭無人機週二第五次襲擊了俄羅斯波羅的海港口Ust-Luga，這是10天內的第五次襲擊。業內消息人士告訴路透社，一個石油裝卸碼頭遭到攻擊，可能加劇俄羅斯原油出口的困難。

過去一個月，基輔加大了對俄羅斯石油出口基礎設施的襲擊力度，對波羅的海港口Ust-Luga和Primorsk發動了這場持續四年多的戰爭中最猛烈的無人機襲擊。

路透社根據市場數據計算，由於無人機打擊，對一條主要輸油管道的爭議性襲擊，以及油輪被扣押，俄羅斯至少40%的石油出口能力已停止。

烏克蘭總統澤連斯基週一表示，由於伊朗戰爭導致全球能源價格飆升，基輔的一些盟友已發出“信號”，探索可能縮減對俄羅斯石油行業的遠程打擊的可能性。

Transneft的石油碼頭遇襲

地區行政長官Alexander Drozdenko表示，包括兩名兒童在內的三人因夜間襲擊受傷接受治療，多棟建築物受損。

他在格林威治標準時間04:09透過Telegram發布消息稱，該地區的空襲警報已解除，但沒有透露港口受損情況的細節。

他隨後表示，Ust-Luga襲擊事件所帶來的影響已「消除」或處理。他表示，該地區居民住宅和其他單位的熱水和供暖供應已恢復。

克里姆林宮發言人Dmitry Peskov稱這次襲擊為“恐怖襲擊”，並補充說，俄羅斯正在努力保護其關鍵基礎設施。

他在與記者的每日電話會議上表示:「這並不意味著這些設施可以百分之百免受此類恐怖襲擊。但是，我們正在進行密集的工作，這不僅適用於港口……也適用於所有其他關鍵基礎設施」。

三位業內人士告訴路透社，烏克蘭無人機襲擊了俄羅斯管道的壟斷企業Transneft公司（股票代碼：TRNF_p.MM）所運營的原油裝載設施，這是最近一次襲擊。Transneft公司尚未對此置評。

Ust-Luga港位於芬蘭灣東南岸，是一個龐大的石油加工設施和出口碼頭綜合體，處理原油和石油產品。

據可靠消息，該港口去年出口了3,290萬噸石油產品。該油田通常每天處理約70萬桶原油。

據當局稱，Ust-Luga分別於3月22日、25日、27日、29日和31日遭受襲擊，導致出口作業暫停。

So, Ukrainian drones have struck Russia's Baltic Sea port of ‌Ust-Luga for the fifth time in 10 days, likely adding to Russia's difficulties in exporting crude. Apparently, Ukraine has the capability to attack far way targets inside Russia.
