Summary
Reports say drones struck the Ust-Luga port area in Russia's Leningrad region on November 11, causing a fire visible from Estonia and disrupting flights at Pulkovo Airport near St. Petersburg. Russian authorities attribute the attack to Ukraine; the Russian Ministry of Defense has not confirmed the port strike. Two people were killed and three injured, including port workers, though reports differ on details of the casualties. In Smolensk, debris from downed drones struck a building in Yartsevo, and videos show an ablaze apartment. A Russian pro-war blogger claimed a Ka-52 helicopter may have been lost and pilots killed; this is unconfirmed and the Defense Ministry reported no aircraft losses. The strikes came as US, Russian and Ukrainian delegations held trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, while Ukraine reported Russian strikes on energy infrastructure.
