A Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that hit Russia's Tatarstan region this week was likely a modified Ukrainian-made Aeroprakt A-22 light aircraft, several experts said, offering insight into one of Kyiv's deepest drone strikes to date.
Russia said the attack hit an industrial site's dorms and hurt 13 people. A Kyiv intelligence source said it struck a site used to produce Russian long-range drones that have been used in the thousands to pound Ukraine during the 25-month war.
