A Ukrainian drone attack Monday on the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk killed 12 people and wounded 39 others, authorities in the Tatarstan region said. <\/p>\n
Ukraine has targeted Russian oil facilities<\/a> with long-range drones<\/a> almost daily in recent months. The barrage has caused fuel shortages<\/a> in Russia, eaten into Russian refining capacity, and unsettled the Russian public.<\/p>\n Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says it is a campaign to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table and stop his more than 4-year-old invasion<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nizhnekamsk came under a \u201cmassive\u201d drone attack targeting industrial and civilian facilities on Monday morning, according to the press service of Tatarstan\u2019s head, Rustam Minnikhanov. No further details were immediately available.<\/p>\n Ukrainian officials made no immediate comment.<\/p>\n Nizhnekamsk is roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) east of the Ukrainian border and has a population of about 240,000. The city is an important oil refining hub, home to two refineries and a petrochemical plant.<\/p>\n Ukraine\u2019s domestically developed long-range drones have flown increasing distances deep inside Russia, with some now reaching Siberia, around 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) from the countries\u2019 border.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do deliver entirely justified responses, and every Russian strike will be met with our response. Russia\u2019s war will be felt more and more at their own home \u2013 in Russia,\u201d Zelenskyy said late Sunday on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cThe only reason this is still continuing is Russia\u2019s unwillingness to end this war.\u201d<\/p>\n
