Ukrainian Drone Strike Kills 12 In Russia's Tatarstan Region

Ukrainian Drone Strike Kills 12 In Russia's Tatarstan Region

For more than four years, Russia and Ukraine have been fighting a war.

Ukraine sent flying machines called drones to attack a part of Russia far away from the fighting, called Tatarstan.

The drones hit the city of Nizhnekamsk, and 12 people died and 39 people were hurt.

Leaders there said it was one of the worst single attacks of the whole war.

Russia also attacked a small village in Ukraine called Bugaivka with big weapons called artillery, and five people died.

Both countries are using attacks that fly very far, and the United Nations says more ordinary people are getting hurt.

Russia says it stopped 456 Ukrainian drones from reaching their targets.

Ukraine says Russia sent 126 drones at them too.

Some other people were hurt in attacks near the border as well.

War is very sad because it is usually regular people, not soldiers, who get hurt.
