Ukrainian Drone Attack Strikes Kazan Buildings

Ukraine executed a significant drone attack on Kazan, Russia, causing extensive damage to multiple residential buildings, including a 37-storey apartment block, during the early hours on Saturday. Reports indicate that eight drones were launched, with six striking residential areas and one hitting an industrial site, while another was shot down over a river. The attacks, which occurred over 600 miles from the front lines, caused panic among residents, leading to evacuations and the closure of Kazan's airport. Although local authorities reported no immediate casualties, the incident marks a notable escalation in the conflict, demonstrating Ukraine's extended military reach into Russian territory. This marks a new phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, as previous Ukrainian strikes were primarily confined to border regions. The attack has prompted Russian officials to cancel public events in Kazan and heightens fears of potential retaliatory measures from Moscow.
