Huge Explosion erupts at Russia’s Biggest and Largest gas terminal

An explosion occurred at Novatek’s Baltic Sea terminal in Russia, which is used for processing natural gas into other products such as naphtha, jet fuel, and diesel.

The terminal was attacked by a suspected Ukrainian drone, according to reports. The terminal is located on the Gulf of Finland and is the largest liquefied natural gas producer in Russia.

The governor of the Leningrad region, Alexander Drozdenko, confirmed that there were no casualties and all workers were safely evacuated. This is a significant incident, as it highlights the growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and the potential for escalation in the ongoing conflict.

Following an explosion caused by a suspected Ukrainian drone attack, Novatek has confirmed that there has been damage to two storage tanks and a pumping station at its Baltic Sea terminal.

The company has also confirmed that operations have been suspended at the facility and an operational headquarters has been established to address the aftermath of the incident.

This is a major setback for the company, as the terminal is an important component of Russia’s energy infrastructure. It is also a worrying sign for the industry, as it shows the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to attack.
