Primorsk, Russia — April 5, 2026 A Russian oil pipeline was damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack near the port city of Primorsk, Russian officials confirmed Tuesday. Debris from the drone struck a section of the pipeline, prompting authorities to control and burn off the leaking fuel. No injuries were reported. Russian air defenses intercepted 19 drones in the Leningrad region during the attack. The port of Primorsk, a key oil export hub, was previously targeted in March, when a fuel tank caught fire after another strike. The latest incident underscores Ukraine’s continued efforts to disrupt Russian energy infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict. Russian officials have not yet commented on potential disruptions to oil exports. The pipeline serves as a critical supply route for Russian crude to global markets. The attack marks another escalation in Ukraine’s campaign against Russian energy facilities, which has intensified in recent months.
