Authorities in Russia's Tatarstan region say a Ukrainian drone attack on the city of Nizhnekamsk killed 12 people and wounded 39 others. Ukraine has targeted Russian oil facilities with long-range drones almost daily in recent months. The barrage has caused fuel shortages in Russia and unsettled the Russian public. The local press office said the “massive” drone attack Monday morning targeted industrial and civilian facilities. Nizhnekamsk is about 750 miles east of the Ukrainian border. The city is home to two refineries and a petrochemical plant. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the drone campaign aims to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table and stop his more than 4-year-old invasion.
