Ukraine drone attack on Russia's Tatarstan region leaves at least 1 dead, 13 injured
One person was killed and 13 others wounded Sunday in a Ukrainian drone attack in Russia's Tatarstan region, local authorities said. Regional Gov. Rustam Minnikhanov said the drone was destroyed, but falling debris ignited a fire and struck a vehicle manufacturing plant in the Yelabuga district, some 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) from the frontline. Russia's defense ministry said it shot down six Ukrainian drones overnight.

Ukrainian drone attack deep inside Russia kills one
Ukrainian drone attack in the Republic of Tatarstan in central Russia has resulted in one fatality and multiple injuries, according to the head of the region, Rustam Minnikhanov. 'During the interception of the UAV, debris struck a checkpoint building at an automotive plant in the Yelabuga district, killing a worker. Thirteen people were injured in total, with one in critical condition,' Minnikhanov stated in a Telegram post on Sunday. The crash triggered a fire at the scene, which was quickly extinguished. In recent months, Ukrainian forces have intensified drone strikes, targeting both border regions and deeper within Russia. National air defense systems routinely intercept dozens or even hundreds of hostile drones per day, although falling debris continues to pose risks to civilians and infrastructure. Ukraine has intensified its drone raids since mid-May, when a meeting of negotiators from the two countries took place in Istanbul, marking the first direct talks between Kiev and Moscow since 2022. The attacks peaked during the final week of May, when 2,300 UAVs were shot down, according to the Russian MOD.
