What happened

A Ukrainian drone struck the CDU-7 primary-processing unit at Tatneft's TANECO refinery in Nizhnekamsk, roughly 1,300km from the front line. A fire was extinguished within about 20 minutes. Russian authorities said production was not disrupted, while Reuters analysis of imagery established that the drone reached the core unit. The event marked a major expansion in the demonstrated range of Ukraine's refinery campaign.
