Russian regions assess damage following heavy overnight drone attacks

Russian regional officials continue to assess the aftermath of an extensive Ukrainian drone strike overnight. In Leningrad Oblast, where authorities reported downing 150 drones, a resident in Vsevolozhsk died after drone debris struck a residential roof, adding to two previously reported fatalities in Smolensk Oblast. The attacks also sparked a fire at the Baltic port of Ust-Luga, injuring three people, and targeted an industrial zone in Kirishi.

In Novgorod Oblast, local leadership confirmed damage to an unspecified industrial facility and two private homes. Further south, strikes in Taganrog hit two electrical substations serving rail logistics, causing casualties and disrupting local transit.

Concurrently, Russian air strikes battered Ukrainian infrastructure. A drone hit a educational facility in Yahotyn, while targeted bombardment left parts of Kryvyi Rih without power and caused fires across Kharkiv.
