Tatarstan local media said the drone had struck a liquefied gas storage site near a chemical factory near Kazan, and published images showing flames and black smoke surging toward the sky.
“A fuel tank caught the fireplace line . . . after a drone attack,” the local government said in Telegram’s email service, added that no one was hurt.
