It's March 23rd. This is Global News Today, AI-powered stories shaping the world. I'm Cory with the story. A fuel storage tank at Russia's Primors' Port on the Baltic Sea went up in flames after a drone strike. This key facility serves as the country's largest western oil export hub, handling massive shipments daily. The port pumps out more than 1 million barrels of crude oil each day, focusing on urels crude and premium diesel. Of diesel alone, top 16.8 million metric tons last year, making a vital for Russia's energy trade. Ukraine keeps targeting Russian energy sites like this one, to weaken Moscow's war machine. Primors saw a similar drone hit back in September that disrupted oil loadings. Local Governor Alexander Drazdenko noted 35 drones shot down over the Leningrad region in recent action. Meanwhile, Russia's Defense Ministry reported intercepting 249 drones nationwide overnight. With the fire under control but damage unclear, these attacks underscore ongoing tensions around
