At least one person was killed and five others were wounded in an overnight Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s southern Rostov region, local officials said Sunday.

In a separate strike in the central republic of Tatarstan, drones damaged an industrial facility in Nizhnekamsk, a city about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles east of Moscow, according to the city’s mayor, Radmir Belyayev.

An apartment building in the city was also struck, injuring three people, state media reported, citing the regional health ministry.

Ukraine’s military later claimed responsibility for the strikes in Tatarstan, saying it had targeted the Nizhnekamskneftekhim petrochemical complex — one of Russia’s largest producers of synthetic rubber and plastics — alongside an oil refinery.

In a statement, Ukraine’s General Staff added that its forces also struck the Monolit aviation and defense plant in the western Bryansk region, which manufactures helicopters and spare parts.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it intercepted 533 Ukrainian drones across Russia and annexed Crimea between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
