      <title>Russia's Primorsk port hit as Ukraine launches wave of drone strikes</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ukrainian drones attacked Russia’s Baltic ‌Sea port of Primorsk on Sunday, temporarily setting it on fire, local governor Alexander Drozdenko said on the Telegram messaging app, as Kyiv launched a wave of strikes on targets across ​the country.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drozdenko said more than 60 drones were downed overnight over Russia’s ​northwestern Leningrad region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was no oil spill following the attack ⁠on Primorsk, a major oil exporting outlet, and the fire was extinguished, he ​added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Primorsk, one of Russia’s largest export gateways, has the capacity to handle 1 ​million barrels per day of oil supply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It has been hit &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/ukraine-renews-attacks-russian-energy-sites-what-has-been-hit-2026-04-22/"&gt;multiple times&lt;/a&gt; in recent months as Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and other targets, as US-brokered talks to ​end the &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/ukraine-russia-war/"&gt;Ukraine war&lt;/a&gt; have stalled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ukrainian forces also struck two shadow fleet tankers in ​waters at the entrance to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr ‌Zelensky said ⁠on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“These tankers had been actively used to transport oil – not anymore,” Zelensky said on Telegram.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Ukraine’s long-range capabilities will continue to be developed comprehensively – at sea, in the air, and on land.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other Russian regions also reported drone attacks on ​Saturday and Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moscow ​regional governor Andrei ⁠Vorobyov said on Saturday evening that a 77-year-old man had died in a village following a drone strike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Sergei ​Sobyanin, the mayor of the city of Moscow, said four ​drones were ⁠downed on their way to the Russian capital.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vasily Anokhin, the governor of the western Smolensk region, said three people, including a child, were injured on Sunday after ⁠a drone ​attacked an apartment block there.&lt;/p&gt;
