A drone factory and Russia’s third-biggest oil refinery were reportedly hit in the early-morning attack in Tatarstan.
Russia’s third-biggest oil refinery was also hit in the brazen, early-morning attack in Tatarstan, which is at least 800 miles from the frontline in Ukraine, the deepest of any attack in Russiaand AFP that the attack was carried out by military intelligence using drones that resemble light aircraft. Footage purported to be of the attack in Yelabuga, in Russia’s Republic of Tatarstan captured the panic in what could be one of Ukraine’s most far-reaching drone strikes, if confirmed.
Authorities in Tatarstan said the building was a dormitory housing students and local workers, claiming that two of those injured in Tuesday’s attack were only 17 years old. A source in Ukrainian intelligence, however, wasthat Tatneft’s Taneco refinery was also hit in the attack, part of an effort by Kyiv to put a dent in Russia’s oil revenue. Russian authorities have played down the drone attack, however, saying production at the Taneco refinery was uninterrupted.
Tatarstan’s leader Rustam Minnikhanov, likewise, said in a statement on Telegram that “no serious damage” had been inflicted on the facility in Yelabuga. “It is extremely important now to remain calm and not give in to the panic that those who committed this crime are deliberately trying to sow,” Minnikhanov wrote.
