SSO reveal details of the strike on the "Karakurt" and an oil terminal near Saint Petersburg

The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shared details regarding the strike on the "Karakurt" missile ship and an oil terminal in the Leningrad region of the Russian Federation on the night of Sunday, May 3, reports UNN.

Special Operations Forces struck the "Karakurt" missile boat carrying "Kalibr" cruise missiles and an oil terminal in the port of Primorsk in the Leningrad region of the Russian Federation on the night of May 3

Deep-strike units of the SOF worked jointly with the SBU, GUR, SBS, and the State Border Guard Service. The targeted facilities are located approximately 1,000 kilometers from the northern border of Ukraine.

The small missile ship "Karakurt" had a launcher and eight "Kalibr" cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,000 km on board. The 67-meter-long ship was also equipped with a sea-based "Pantsir-M" anti-aircraft missile and cannon system.

Designed for naval combat in coastal zones or the open sea, the "Karakurt" was specifically intended to cover infrastructure and the oil terminal from Ukrainian drones.

The targeted "Primorsk" oil terminal of the Russian state company "Transneft" is the largest on the Baltic Sea. All pipelines of the northwestern Russian Federation converge at the terminal, from where oil and gas products are exported by the shadow fleet.

Striking the enemy's maritime and oil and gas infrastructure reduces its economic and logistical capabilities to wage war against Ukraine, as well as to bypass international sanctions and fill its budget. The SOF continues asymmetric actions for the strategic exhaustion of the enemy in the conduct of the war against Ukraine

As a reminder

As UNN previously reported, the Ukrainian military successfully struck facilities at the port of Primorsk and "subtracted" another Russian "Kalibr" carrier.
