  "account": "Ukrainian drones struck the Ust-Luga Baltic Sea port on Nov. 11, igniting the site and setting off explosions, according to Ukrainian monitoring channels. Similar drone attacks were reported in other regions across Russia, with damage to a residential building in Smolensk Oblast and air defenses engaged in Tver city. The port, sanctioned by the EU, Canada, the UK, the US, and Switzerland, is frequently used by Russia's shadow fleet to transport oil using irregular shipping practices. This attack is not the first time Ukrainian forces have targeted Ust-Luga; on Sept. 1, drones damaged an oil-processing unit at the Novatek-Ust-Luga complex, causing a significant fire.",
