Ukrainian Drone Attack On The Russian City of Nizhnekamsk Kills 12, Authorities Say
- On Monday, a Ukrainian drone attack hit industrial and civilian targets in Nizhnekamsk, Russia, killing at least 12 people and injuring 39, according to Mayor Radmir Belyayev. The strike targeted a major oil refinery in the Tatarstan region.
- Ukraine has stepped up strikes on Russian oil refineries in recent months in a campaign to create fuel shortages across Russia. Authorities claim most initial supply problems have since been resolved.
- The targeted TANECO refinery processed 17 million tons of crude oil in 2024, producing 2.7 million tons of gasoline and 8.5 million tons of diesel fuel. It ranks among Russia's most technologically advanced facilities.
- Tatarstan head Rustam Minnikhanov declared a period of mourning following the attack, Belyayev said. Unverified social media videos show smoke rising over the refinery, though Reuters could not independently confirm the footage.
- A Russian artillery strike on the village of Bugaivka in the Chuguiv district of Ukraine's Kharkiv region killed five people on Monday, destroying various houses. The prosecutor's office confirmed the attack in a statement.
