In a drone attack carried out by Ukraine on Monday on the city of Nizhnekamsk in Russia’s Tatarstan region, 13 people, including a child, were killed; 48 others were seriously injured.
The city, located about 1,200 km from the Ukrainian border, serves as a major oil refining center in Russia. Tatarstan regional head Rustam Minnikhanov said Ukraine targeted factories and residential areas in the city.
For the past several months, Ukraine has been continuously carrying out attacks using long-range drones with the aim of destroying Russia’s oil resources. These sustained attacks have caused fuel shortages in Russia and have also severely affected oil refining capacity.
Meanwhile, Russia has also been continuously attacking Ukraine with missiles and drones. Within the past 24 hours, Russia has attacked twice a storage warehouse of the World Health Organization located in Dnipro province, in central Ukraine.
In this, the World Health Organization said in a statement released on Monday that emergency medical supplies worth about 500,000 dollars, which had been set aside for field hospitals, were completely damaged, but no loss of life occurred.
