KAZAN, Russia (Sputnik) - Twelve people were killed and 39 were injured as a result by a UAV attack by Kiev on Russia's Nizhnekamsk, office of the Republic of Tatarstan head said on Monday.

"According to information at the moment, 12 people have been killed and 39 injured as a result of an enemy drone attack on Nizhnekamsk," the office said in a statement.

Industrial and civilian facilities in the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk in the Republic of Tatarstan were attacked by UAVs, there are dead, the office of the region's head said.

"This morning, the republic was subjected to another brutal attack by enemy UAVs. A massive raid continues on the city of Nizhnekamsk ... Unfortunately, there are dead," the office said in a statement.

The attack is carried out on both industrial and civilian facilities, the statement read.

Additional teams of medical workers have been sent to Nizhnekamsk from the city of Naberezhnye Chelny, the office of Tatarstan's head said.

Mourning has been declared in Tatarstan following the attack, the office added.

The Ukrainian armed forces' UAV attack on the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk is a war crime, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik said on Monday.

"Official data on the number of injured and dead has not yet been announced, but there is already a decision to declare mourning on the territory of the republic for those who died as a result of a war crime committed by the armed forces of Ukraine," Miroshnik wrote on Telegram.

The blame for the lost lives in Russia's Nizhnekamsk as a result of a UAV attack lies on the conscience of those who gave Kiev weapons, Rodion Miroshnik said.

"It is important for the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime to realize and remember that every life cut short, every crippled fate of a peaceful person lies on the conscience of those who gave the Nazi murderer a weapon in their hands, who allowed them to think that retribution for their crimes would not come," Miroshnik wrote on Telegram.

More than 30 civilians were injured in Belgorod and more than 50 in Nizhnekamsk, with at least 18 of them killed, he added.
