Ukrainian Drone Strike on Russian City of Nizhnekamsk Kills 12, Injures 39
A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan killed 12 people and injured 39, targeting industrial and civilian sites including the TANECO oil refinery. The strike is part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign against Russian oil facilities using long-range drones, which has affected Russia's refining capacity and fuel supply. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy described the attacks as responses to Russian aggression, while Russian authorities declared a mourning period. Independent verification of damage and casualties remains limited.
