According to Aleksandr Drozdenko, the fire broke out in Ust-Luga, in the Gulf of Finland near the border with Estonia. So far, there have been no reports of injuries.

The port is on the EU sanctions list, among other things.

Late Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday, residents of Latvia and Lithuania were repeatedly alerted to drones. NATO aircraft were sent to Lithuania in response to the alarms.

Finland temporarily closed parts of its airspace and shipping in the eastern Gulf of Finland overnight as a precautionary measure, the country's Defence Forces said on X.
