Photo| AFP A Ukrainian drone strike on Russia’s central Tatarstan region killed at least 13 people and wounded 75 others on Monday, in one of the deadliest single attacks carried out by Kyiv during the more than four-year-old war, according to regional authorities. The attack targeted the city of Nizhnekamsk, located more than 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

Tatarstan is a major energy-producing region and is home to several large oil refineries that Ukraine has targeted in retaliatory strikes. 13 Killed, 75 Wounded In Nizhnekamsk “According to the latest information, 13 people have been killed and 75 wounded as a result of the drone attack," the regional press service said in a statement on Monday. The Tatarstan region had earlier described the incident as a “massive" Ukrainian drone attack. Unverified footage shared on social media showed a large cloud of black smoke rising from the site of an oil facility near Nizhnekamsk, an industrial city in the region. Russia Says 456 Ukrainian Drones Shot Down Russia’s Defence Ministry said it had shot down 456 Ukrainian drones during overnight attacks. The ministry does not usually state how many drones managed to reach their intended targets. The attack comes as both Russia and Ukraine have significantly intensified their long-range strikes this year.

The escalation has contributed to a rise in civilian deaths, according to the United Nations. Ukraine’s air force, meanwhile, said Russia launched 126 drones during its overnight attack on Ukraine.
