Ukrainian Drone Strike Hits Baltic Port of Ust-Luga, Sparking Large Fire

On the night of November 10-11, 150 Ukrainian drones attacked the Leningrad region, targeting the Baltic port of Ust-Luga, where a large fire broke out, according to regional governor Alexander Drozdenko. The attack caused significant damage at Russia's largest Baltic port. Ust-Luga, located about 120 km from St. Petersburg, is Russia's second-largest port and handles oil, coal, LNG, and other goods, exporting roughly 700,000 barrels of oil daily in 2025. The attack also prompted Pulkovo airport to temporarily suspend flights, diverting three passenger planes to Helsinki and Kaliningrad. In related overnight strikes, drone debris caused a fatal apartment fire in Yartsevo, killing two people, while 37 drones were intercepted across various regions. The attack also extended to Adygea, where a drone fragment ignited a rooftop fire, though no injuries were reported there.
