Ukrainian Drone Strike on Russian City of Nizhnekamsk Kills 12, Hits Oil Refinery
A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan killed at least 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, aiming to pressure Russia amid the conflict. Unverified videos showed smoke over the refinery. Russian authorities declared a mourning period. Both sides have escalated long-range attacks this year, increasing civilian casualties, according to the United Nations.
