Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Tatarstan region early Tuesday for the first time since the start of the invasion, hitting targets that included a refinery nearly 1,500 kilometers (about 930 miles) from the border between the two countries.
The drones hit targets in the cities of Yelabuga and Nizhnekamsk and didn’t cause serious damage or disrupt business operations, the head of the region, Rustam Minnikhanov, said on his Telegram channel. Bloomberg News couldn’t independently verify the extent of the damage. Twelve people were injured in the attack on Yelabuga, state-run Tass news service reported, citing regional authorities.
