On Russia Day, drones hit an apartment building and two oil refineries in Tatarstan and ignite a fire at a petrochemical plant in the Samara region

Ukrainian drones struck two oil refineries in Nizhnekamsk on June 12. The Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff said the targets were the TANEKO refinery (Tatneft) and TAIF-NK. Ukrainian monitoring Telegram channels were among the first to report the strikes, though they initially wrote that one of the targets was the Nizhnekamskneftekhim refinery, a Sibur subsidiary. The confusion likely stemmed from the fact that the TAIF-NK plant was part of Nizhnekamskneftekhim until the late 1990s.
