At least 13 dead after Ukrainian drone strike on Russia's Nizhnekamsk

A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk in the republic of Tatarstan has killed at least 13 people, prompting a day of mourning.

Authorities in Russia's Tatarstan republic have declared a day of mourning after a Ukrainian drone strike on the city of Nizhnekamsk left at least 13 people dead.

The regional government ordered the mourning period to honor those killed in the attack. Further details about the exact circumstances, the target of the strike, and the extent of the damage have not yet been widely disclosed.

Nizhnekamsk is known as a major industrial hub in Tatarstan, home to a large petrochemical plant. Cities deep inside Russian territory, far from the front line, have increasingly come under Ukrainian drone attacks in recent months as Kyiv seeks to strike Russian industrial and energy infrastructure.

Neither Ukrainian nor Russian officials have issued further comment on the incident at this time.
