Ukraine's General Staff has confirmed that their forces launched an operation targeting the Novatek-Ust-Luga production and transshipment complex in Slobodka, located in Russia's Leningrad region. This incident took place during an overnight mission on August 14, as reported by UATV English. The General Staff disclosed that the facility experienced a fire and two processing units were targeted, although the complete damage assessment is still underway.
Novatek-Ust-Luga is a significant industrial complex primarily focused on fractionating and processing stable gas condensate. Its annual processing capacity is around 8 million tons of raw material. The General Staff stated that the products manufactured at this complex are essential for Russia's military-economic operations and aid in supplying the Russian Armed Forces.
The General Staff emphasized that ongoing operations against crucial enemy facilities are continuing. This strike followed a fire reported at the Ust-Luga port in Northwestern Russia after a drone attack the previous night.
