MOSCOW, March 31, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Drone attacks caused fresh damage at Russia's Baltic port of Ust-Luga, the regional governor said on Tuesday, for the third time in a week. Russian air defences shot down 38 drones overnight in northwestern Leningrad region, its governor said on social media. "There is damage at the port of Ust-Luga," Governor Alexander Drozdenko said, adding three people - including two children - were wounded in the overnight attacks. Ukraine has intensified retaliatory attacks on Russian infrastructure -- including refineries, oil depots and ports -- saying they are justified as part of the effort to cut revenues funding Russia's offensive. Russian authorities said on Wednesday and Sunday that Ukrainian drone attacks had caused fires at the port.
