MOSCOW, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Russia's August exports of ultra low-sulphur diesel from the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk are scheduled to rise by 3.2% from July to 1.3 million metric tons, two traders said on Friday.

However, actual loadings could be lower this month as several Russian refineries have been hit by drone attacks, including Rosneft's Ryazan oil refinery, market sources added.

According to traders and LSEG shipping data, diesel loading from the Primorsk port has totalled around 580,000 tons in August so far.
