On 10 August 2026, Ukrainian drones struck central Russia in an overnight attack. Russian authorities said 12 people were killed and 39 injured, and later reports put the death toll at 13, including a child, according to NDTV. CNN described it as the deadliest attack inside Russia in two years, and several outlets said the target was an oil-refining city or hub.
