Russia’s Ust-Luga Port Damaged by Ukrainian Drones, Fire Breaks Out

MOSCOW, March 29 (Reuters) – ⁠Russia’s ⁠Ust-Luga port, ⁠one of its largest ​petroleum export outlets, was ‌damaged on Sunday ‌in a ⁠Ukrainian ⁠drone attack that sparked a fire, Alexander ​Drozdenko, the governor of the northern Leningrad ​region said on Telegram.

A total ⁠of 36 ⁠drones were ⁠shot ​down over the region, Drozdenko said.

Ust-Luga, ​operated ⁠by Russian oil pipeline monopoly Transneft, handles around 700,000 barrels ⁠per day of oil exports, and, according ⁠to sources, shipped 32.9 million metric tons of oil products in 2025.

Ukraine has regularly attacked Russian oil exporting facilities and oil ⁠refineries as it seeks to undermine Moscow’s war economy.

Brewing a Better Half-Gallon Batch

Today I finally ran an experiment I’ve wanted to try for a long time. If you’re a professional barista—or you run a busy café—this may save you some time. Most coffee shops use 1–1.5 gallon batch brewers (Bunn, Curtis, Fetco, etc.). When I opened Short Sleeves Coffee, I intentionally avoided brewing full 1-gallon batches. I
