Russia shot down 92 drones over the Leningrad region early Wednesday, according to Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko. The attack targeted an area northwest of Moscow that includes key Baltic Sea ports and a major oil refinery. The region hosts the ports of Ust-Luga, Primorsk, and Vysotsk, crucial for Russian oil and grain exports, as well as the Kirishi oil refinery. A separate drone strike on Monday hit the refinery, causing a fire and killing a woman. Latvia and Lithuania warned residents of unidentified drones entering their airspace and activated NATO fighter jets. In Ukraine, a drone attack caused power outages in Kryvyi Rih, as US-mediated peace talks continued in Abu Dhabi.
