A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk on Monday resulted in the deaths of 12 individuals and injuries to 39 others, according to authorities in the Tatarstan region. The attack was described as a "massive" drone strike targeting both industrial and civilian facilities.
Nizhnekamsk, located approximately 1,200 kilometers east of the Ukrainian border, is home to two oil refineries and a petrochemical plant, making it a significant oil refining hub. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that the drone campaign is intended to compel Russian President Vladimir Putin to engage in negotiations to end the ongoing conflict.
In recent months, Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian oil facilities with long-range drones, which has led to fuel shortages and disruptions in Russian refining capacity. The Ukrainian government has not provided immediate comments following the attack.
乌克兰无人机袭击俄罗斯城市下诺夫哥罗德，造成12人死亡
周一，乌克兰对俄罗斯城市下诺夫哥罗德的无人机袭击导致12人死亡，39人受伤，塔塔尔斯坦地区的当局表示。此次袭击被描述为针对工业和民用设施的“重大”无人机攻击。
下诺夫哥罗德位于距离乌克兰边界约1200公里的地方，是两座石油精炼厂和一座石化厂的所在地，因而成为一个重要的石油精炼中心。乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示，此次无人机行动旨在迫使俄罗斯总统普京进行谈判，以结束持续的冲突。
近年来，乌克兰越来越多地使用远程无人机袭击俄罗斯的石油设施，这导致了燃料短缺和俄罗斯精炼能力的中断。乌克兰政府在袭击后没有立即发表评论。
