Ukrainian drone attack kills at least 12 in central Russia
Ukraine launched hundreds of drones at targets inside Russia, according to Russian officials. The strikes killed at least 12 people in one of Kyiv's deadliest attacks since the Russian invasion began over four years ago.
On Monday, a Ukrainian drone attack in Nizhnekamsk, Russia, resulted in at least 13 deaths and 48 injuries, according to local press reports. The attack targeted a refinery and other unspecified industrial and civilian locations, killing several Central Asians and a child. The region, located 1,000 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border, is home to significant oil refineries that have been a primary target of Ukrainian strikes.
The United Nations has noted a surge in civilian casualties resulting from such attacks. Russian officials have accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting civilians, while Ukraine claims it struck the Taneco oil refinery. The Ukrainian strikes on refineries have caused fuel shortages, reducing Russia's oil-refining capacity.
