A Ukrainian drone strike on the central Russian region of Tatarstan has killed at least 12 people, making it one of the deadliest attacks carried out by Kyiv since the war began more than four years ago.

Tatarstan is home to significant oil-refining facilities, and the strike has had a direct impact on Russia's economy. France 24 correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze reported further details on the attack and its consequences.

The strike underscores Ukraine's continued ability to reach targets deep inside Russian territory, far from the front line, as the war continues into its fifth year.
