Seven Uzbek citizens killed in Tatarstan drone attack
A drone attack happened in a part of Russia called Tatarstan.
Some people from a country called Uzbekistan were hurt in the attack.
The Uzbekistan consulate said seven of its citizens died.
Local Russian officials said at least 13 people died, including a child.
They also said 39 people were hurt.
The attack happened in the city of Nizhnekamsk and hit factories and places where people live.
Many people from Uzbekistan work in Russia, and the money they send home helps their country.
Uzbekistan wants to stay friends with Russia, but it also says Ukraine should keep its land.
That makes this a very careful balancing act.
Everyone is sad about the people who lost their lives.
Seven Uzbek citizens were killed in a drone attack in Russia's Tatarstan region, the Uzbek consulate in Kazan said.
Local authorities earlier reported at least 13 people killed, including a child, and 39 injured in Nizhnekamsk.
The drone attack struck industrial and civilian targets in the city of Nizhnekamsk.
Between two and three million Uzbek citizens work in Russia, with the Uzbek economy partly based on migrant remittances.
Uzbekistan maintains close ties with Russia while also stressing support for Ukraine's territorial integrity.
