Quick Summary

Russia shot down 92 drones early on November 11th over the Leningrad region northwest of Moscow, according to Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko's Telegram message. The area includes crucial ports and an oil refinery, making it a significant target in Russia’s conflict with Ukraine. Neighboring countries Latvia and Lithuania have activated NATO air defenses due to drone threats from Russian airspace, while Ukraine reported power outages following a separate drone attack in Kryvyi Rih. These incidents coincide with peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
