Aftermath of the fire in Ust-Luga
This equipment was transported following a fire in the Baltic port of Ust-Luga, roughly 62 miles from Petersburg. Regional residents reported hearing explosions prior to the fire; the Kremlin has accused Ukraine of causing the incident.
Originating from Soviet times, the S-300 system was primarily used as an air defense system. However, it's now also being used in strikes on Ukrainian cities.
