Facilities at Ust-Luga damaged by Ukrainian drones on Independence Day
A series of drone strikes conducted by Ukrainian special forces and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) caused a fire at the Novatek fuel export terminal in the port of Ust-Luga on Aug 24, 2025, the day Ukraine once gained independence from the Soviet Union. At least 10 drones were downed during the attack. Debris from a downed drone caused the fire in the Novatek-operated terminal. Repairs were started after the fire was extinguished, while no casualties resulted from the attack. The attack at the port of Ust-Luga was part of a larger coordinated strike conducted by Ukraine.

Russian Ust Luga coal terminal maintenance won’t limit exports
Maintenance at Russia’s Ust Luga coal terminal will have a temporary effect on thermal coal export capacity from Russia, but this is not expected to have much of an impact on the delivered-Europe price, sources said. The maintenance could reduce coal export capacity by as much as 1 million-2 million mt over the next few months while work on the terminal is carried out, sources said. But some sources said they doubted the reduction would have much impact on the market, saying Russian coal was exported via several terminals in the Baltic region that could absorb the lost capacity from Ust Luga. Ust Luga’s export capacity is 20 million mt/year, according to the terminal’s website.
