12 dead, 39 injured in Ukrainian drone strike in Russia's Nizhnekamsk
A Ukrainian drone attack in Nizhnekamsk killed 12 and injured 39, targeting key industrial facilities and highlighting ongoing tensions.
On Monday, a Ukrainian drone strike in the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk resulted in 12 fatalities and 39 injuries, according to authorities in the Tatarstan region. The Tatarstan head, Rustam Minnikhanov, reported the attack targeted both industrial and civilian facilities. Nizhnekamsk, located roughly 1,200 kilometers east of the Ukrainian border and home to around 240,000 people, is an important oil refining hub with two refineries and a petrochemical plant.
Ukraine has been conducting long-range drone attacks on Russian oil facilities almost daily in recent months, causing fuel shortages and unsettling the Russian public. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims the campaign aims to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate and end his four-year-old invasion of Ukraine.
Zelensky emphasized that Russia's refusal to cease the conflict is the sole reason the war persists.
