A Ukrainian drone strike in central Russia kills 13 people, Russian authorities say. Multiple outlets report the attack hits a city associated with a major oil refinery and broader fuel infrastructure, with local officials describing it as one of the deadliest attacks by Kyiv in roughly two years.
Several reports cite Kyiv’s military as saying it targeted the area, including the oil-refining site. One outlet adds that ongoing Ukrainian strikes are contributing to fuel shortages in Russia, while another notes the wider context of air attacks on civilian areas throughout the conflict.
Outlets broadly agree on the death toll, that the strike is carried out by drones, that it occurs deep inside Russia, and that an oil hub or refinery is involved. Differences are mainly in phrasing, such as whether sources emphasize the city’s role as an oil hub or reference claims about knock-on effects like fuel shortages.
