Summary
Ukrainian Special Operations Forces said several long-range drones hit the TANECO and TAIF-NK refineries in Nizhnekamsk overnight, setting both sites on fire.
Tatarstan authorities had earlier reported damage to several industrial facilities in the city, aligning with Kyiv's claim that the strike reached major energy targets deep inside Russia.
TANECO is one of Russia's largest and most advanced refineries, with refining depth of up to 99%, while TAIF-NK can process up to 8.5 million tonnes of crude a year.
The attack extends Ukraine's campaign against Russian fuel and industrial infrastructure, targeting plants that produce petrol, diesel and aviation fuel.
