Explosions at chemical storage facility in Russia
Two explosions were reported at Novatek’s chemical storage facility at Ust-Luga port, 100 miles southwest of St Petersburg, according to local media.
Two explosions and a fire were reported at a site run by Russia’s second-largest natural gas producer on Sunday.
The blasts, where a gas tank is thought to have exploded, were reported at Novatek’s chemical storage facility at Ust-Luga port, 100 miles southwest of St Petersburg, according to local media.
A statement given by the company to media outlet RBC said they were the result of “external influence” and that operations at the site had been paused.
A separate local news outlet reported two drones flying towards St Petersburg on Sunday morning. Kyiv has not commented.
