Ukrainian drone strikes target Russia's Ust-Luga port and Novgorod region

Ukrainian drone attacks targeted infrastructure across western Russia overnight into November 11, causing fires and power outages at the Baltic port of Ust-Luga in Leningrad Oblast. Regional Governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed that the port strike damaged a transformer substation and injured three workers.

In nearby Novgorod Oblast, local authorities reported damage to an industrial facility, which open-source intelligence channels identified as an aircraft repair plant. The strikes were part of a wider barrage in which Russian air defenses reportedly intercepted up to 150 drones over Leningrad Oblast. Civilian casualties were also recorded, including a fatality in Vsevolozhsk caused by falling drone debris. Concurrently, Russian forces launched missile and drone strikes against several Ukrainian regions, disrupting power supplies in Kryvyi Rih.
