00:00What happens when a single drone attack shakes the global oil market?
00:03In Russia's Baltic Sea region, Ukraine launched a long-range drone strike on the Ustluga oil port.
00:09This port is one of Russia's biggest energy export hubs.
00:13The attack triggered a massive fire and damaged parts of the oil terminal.
00:18Firefighters later managed to bring the blaze under control.
00:21But the damage had already sent shockwaves through Russia's energy network.
00:26Ustluga handles around 700,000 barrels of oil exports every single day.
00:31That makes it a crucial gateway for Russian oil shipments to global markets.
00:35Russian officials say air defenses shot down dozens of drones during the assault.
00:40Yet some drones still slipped through and struck the facility.
00:44Infrastructure was damaged, and even a nearby residence was reportedly hit.
00:48This attack is part of Ukraine's growing strategy.
00:50The goal is to target Russia's oil infrastructure and weaken the economy that fuels the war.
00:56And the impact is already spreading.
00:59Previous strikes on key ports have disrupted shipments and forced Russia to rethink its export routes.
01:05Meanwhile, global oil prices are already climbing past $100 per barrel.
01:10Every new strike adds more pressure to the world's energy markets.
01:14And now the big question remains.
01:16If these attacks continue, could Russia's oil supply chain face even bigger shocks ahead?
