# Ukrainian drone strike kills 12 in Russian city Nizhnekamsk 2026-08-10T10:35:55+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk killed 12 people and wounded 39 others on Monday, authorities in the Tatarstan region said. The regional press service described the strike as 'massive', targeting industrial and civilian facilities. Nizhnekamsk, home to two refineries and a petrochemical plant, is an important oil refining hub about 1,200 km east of the Ukrainian border. President Volodymyr Zelensky said the campaign of long-range drone strikes on Russian oil facilities is meant to force President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the war. Ukraine has used domestically developed drones to hit targets deep inside Russia, causing fuel shortages and reducing refining capacity. No further details on the damage were immediately available. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - hindustantimes.com - indiatvnews.com - nationalheraldindia.com Tags: drone attack, Nizhnekamsk, Russia, Ukraine, war, Zelensky Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/12-killed-39-hurt-in-ukrainian-drone-attack-on-russian-city/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
