Caption: At Least 13 Killed In Ukrainian Drone Strike On Russia's Tatarstan. At least 13 people have been killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on Russia's Tatarstan region, according to Russian officials. Authorities said a child was among those killed and another 39 people were injured in one of the deadliest single attacks on Russia since the full-scale war began. The attack hit Nizhnekamsk, more than 1,100 kilometres from the Ukrainian border and home to major oil refineries and petrochemical facilities. Kyiv has not commented on the attack, which local sources said continued for several hours overnight and into the morning. Moscow said industrial facilities and residential areas were targeted, although the BBC said it had not independently verified the information. Tatarstan leader Rustam Minnikhanov confirmed the strike and offered condolences to the families of those killed. Russia said its air defences shot down more than 450 Ukrainian drones overnight, as Kyiv increasingly carries out long-range strikes inside Russia. The attack came as Russia continued large-scale strikes on Ukraine, with five people killed overnight in a Russian artillery attack on Kharkiv.
