I got Omsk and Essen but couldn’t figure out why they were right. Thanks for the explanations.

I made the same wrong guess at 26ac and could not explain 3dn, so thanks Gaufrid@1 for these.

5dn: I think the last part of this should be I within anagram of lean, to account for the words “being caught by” in the clue.

Thanks to Falcon and Ringo too.

26ac is [mass]ACRE

I think 3dn is [l]ESSEN[ed] (fell minus led)
