A major Ukrainian drone attack on the city of Nizhnekamsk in Russia's Tatarstan region killed 13 people, including a child, on August 9, 2026.
This strike marks one of the deadliest aerial assaults inside Russian territory in the last two years, targeting critical infrastructure near an oil refinery.
The Russian government has vowed a retaliatory response, further escalating the aerial conflict that has seen both nations intensify drone operations against civilian and military targets.
