Major UAV alarm on the Baltic oil pipeline: Russia announced that 141 vehicles were shot down

Russia’s Leningrad region reported downing 141 drones overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks near the Baltic Sea, with strikes landing close to oil export ports. The scale of the assault has renewed focus on the security of energy shipments from the Baltic corridor, a key outlet for Russian crude and refined products. The reported interceptions follow a pattern of sustained drone activity targeting infrastructure in Russia’s northwest. Traders will watch whether loadings at Baltic terminals face disruption and whether further attacks prompt rerouting or higher freight and insurance costs.
