At least 13 people have been killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian republic of Tatarstan, local officials have said.

They confirmed one child was among those killed, with 75 more people injured as drones hit Nizhnekamsk, more than 1,100 kilometres (680m) from the Ukrainian border. Ukraine's Armed Forces said the city's Tanevo oil refinery had been hit.

It is one of the deadliest single attacks on Russia since the start of Moscow's full-scale war in Ukraine in 2022.

Kyiv has recently stepped up its long-range strikes on facilities it says contribute revenue and logistics to Russia's war on Ukraine.
