In a significant escalation, a Ukrainian drone strike on Monday targeted the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk, resulting in the deaths of 12 individuals and injuring 39 more, regional authorities in Tatarstan confirmed.

Recently, Ukraine has intensified its focus on Russian oil installations, utilizing long-range drones in almost daily attacks. This sustained campaign is contributing to fuel shortages across Russia, hampering its refining capabilities, and stirring concern among its citizens.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine asserts that these measures aim to compel Russian President Vladimir Putin into negotiations to bring an end to his protracted invasion, now surpassing four years.

The drone assault on Nizhnekamsk occurred on Monday morning, described as “massive” by Rustam Minnikhanov’s press service, the head of Tatarstan. The attack targeted both industrial and civilian areas, though additional specifics were not provided.

At present, Ukrainian officials have refrained from making any public statements regarding the incident.

Nizhnekamsk is roughly 750 miles east of the Ukrainian border and has a population of about 240,000. The city is an important oil refining hub, home to two refineries and a petrochemical plant.

Ukraine’s domestically developed long-range drones have flown increasing distances deep inside Russia, with some now reaching Siberia, around 1,200 miles from the countries’ border.

“We do deliver entirely justified responses, and every Russian strike will be met with our response. Russia’s war will be felt more and more at their own home – in Russia,” Zelensky said late Sunday on social media.

“The only reason this is still continuing is Russia’s unwillingness to end this war.”

Russia has also regularly battered Ukraine from the air using missiles, powerful glide bombs and drones, hitting civilian areas and causing thousands of civilian casualties, according to the United Nations.

The World Health Organization’s European office said Monday that one of its warehouses in the central Dnipro region of Ukraine had been struck twice in less than 24 hours.

The attacks destroyed emergency supplies worth an estimated $500,000 that were intended for front-line health facilities, it said in a statement.

No casualties were reported.

Anne Hathaway found herself at the center of some lighthearted mockery from fans regarding her ‘unusual’ maternity wear during her appearance at the premiere of The End Of Oak Street in Los Angeles this past Sunday.

The actress, 43, who revealed she was expecting her third child in June, flaunted her burgeoning baby bump as she posed for photographers on the red carpet at Warner Bros. Studios.

The Odyssey actress greeted the cameras with a bright smile, wearing a sleeveless, light blue top, which was cut short at the front with a playful train cascading behind her.

Adding a twist to her outfit, bright red material lined the inside of her top, and she completed the ensemble with a pair of low-rise, denim jeans.

Hathaway rounded off her look with chic closed-toe red pumps and styled her brunette tresses into a sleek ponytail, perfectly complementing her vibrant ensemble.

Hathaway accessorized the look with dangly earrings and a flashy bracelet on her left wrist. 

Social media users offered their thoughts on the red carpet ensemble, with one penning that it ‘looks ridiculous.’ 

‘It’s awful. She’s too pretty for this to happen.’

‘Please let me UNSEE this,’ someone else added.

Another wrote, ‘This one is so wrong sorry,’ and a fan typed, ‘Jeans? JEANS?! That dazzling top deserves a better companion.’

One X user commented, ‘The jeans make it worse.’ 

Over on Instagram, a fan shared, ‘I love her. I do not understand why her stylist did this to her.’

‘Ya no to her outfit,’ one penned, and another typed out, ‘That’s very tacky.’ 

An Instagram user added, ‘Unflattering styling for a beautiful pregnant woman,’ and another said, ‘love her – outfit just No.’ 

Other fans shared on X, ‘She looks radiant…,’ as well as, ‘Anne hathaway at a world premiere is always a win, she looks stunning.’

Jersey Shore alum JWoww penned on Instagram, ‘I love her so much omg.’ 

The Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Hathaway for comment, but has yet to hear back.

The star has been showcasing her adventurous maternity style on recent outings, such as when she stepped out in NYC late last month in a white netted top. 

The actress recently took on a leading role in the upcoming sci-fi adventure The End Of Oak Street which hits theaters on August 14. 

Along with Hathaway, the cast also includes Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella and Christian Convery. 

The premise is: ‘The Platt family bands together to navigate their new surroundings after a cosmic event transports their suburban neighborhood to someplace unknown,’ per IMDB. 

‘It’s just so much fun and it’s such a great time at the movies,’ she told Extra during an interview on Sunday. 

‘It’s a family horror movie which I’ve never had the opportunity to be a part of and I’m excited.’

Hathaway has had a busy year thus far by additionally starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. 

The actress has since garnered critical praise and Oscars buzz based on her performance as Odysseus’s wife Penelope. 

Hathaway is also preparing to welcome her third child with husband Adam Shulman, whom she tied the knot with in 2012. 

She made her pregnancy announcement two months earlier in June by sharing a video on Instagram. 

In the clip, the Hollywood star could be seen stepping into the frame wearing a white linen co-ord with her arms initially covering her stomach. 

She then dropped her arms to unveil her baby while flashing an excited smile on her face. 

During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Hathaway opened up about her ‘buzzer beater’ pregnancy. 

‘I mean, we knew what we were doing, but we were so shocked it worked! We knew, and yeah, but no, we were just – we were so shocked it went this way,’ she said. 

Back in April, she also talked about motherhood while talking to People. 

‘I know that not everybody who wants to be a parent gets to be. I’m just blown away by how fortunate I am. It went really well for me twice, and that’s really lucky.’

The actress also gushed about her supportive husband, adding that, ‘I’m so lucky that he’s my partner that I spend my life with.

‘If I didn’t know that before this past year, I think I really know it now because with absolutely everything he’s just, he’s on it. He holds it down. I hope that doesn’t sound like I’m bragging, but he’s a dream partner to me.’

In a recent development from Indiana, prosecutors have announced that they will not pursue charges in the case of a 75-year-old Tim Hortons patron who passed away following an altercation with a drive-thru manager.

Anita Grayson, who suffered from congestive heart failure, tragically died after a confrontation on May 13 at the Fort Wayne coffee shop. Her untimely death prompted an investigation due to initial uncertainty among authorities about whether it was accidental or constituted a homicide.

On Friday, the Allen County prosecutors stated that no charges will be filed, officially clearing all involved staff members of any wrongdoing, as detailed in a report reviewed by The Post.

Grayson, a mother to four children, stormed into the coffeehouse shortly after 8 a.m., expressing her discontent over an order to a 17-year-old employee. This led the 20-year-old shift manager to step in.

According to Fort Wayne investigators, the shift manager tried to prevent Grayson from approaching the teenage worker by placing her hands on Grayson, which resulted in her being “forcefully shoved”.

The senior then struck the manager on the left side of her nose and she tried to retaliate.

Grayson then grabbed the manager’s face, scratched her and knocked off her glasses before yanking her hair and pulling her to the ground. 

Then, two other Tim Hortons staffers rushed in and tried to pull the pair apart, but Grayson then pulled a clump of hair from the shift manager.

She was then seen putting clumps of hair in her bag before being found unresponsive.

Prosecutors refused to file charges as they said the shift manager was defending her colleague.

“Grayson’s escalation to striking [the manager] in the face was not a proportionate or justified response to being touched on the shoulders,” investigators said.

“As a matter of law, it is Grayson’s blow, not [the manager’s] earlier contact that started the altercation.”

The manager’s actions “did not exceed what the ongoing struggle reasonably called for,” investigators said.

[Her] “initial intervention is independently justified as defense of a third person,” investigators added.

“She said she thought Grayson was going to attack the minor employee, so she stepped in.

“Under Indiana law, the State cannot proceed unless it can disprove legal justification beyond a reasonable doubt, and on this record it cannot. The current conclusion is that no criminal charges will be filed.”

Grayson’s manner of death was undetermined, Allen County coroners said last month. 

Her death was the result of “acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure in the setting of physical altercation,”  E. Jon Brandenberger said in his ruling.

“The symptoms of congestive heart failure get worse when there is adrenaline flowing in a physical altercation, and then a sudden flare up of the heart failure, which then can lead to symptoms, or hospitalization, and even death,” the coroner said.

Coroners ruled out an accidental or natural death given the circumstances.

Investigators also ruled out homicide after examining all of the evidence and said Grayson didn’t suffer any “significant contributory injuries” as a result of the fight.

“There has been exhaustive investigation and review in the evidence of this case,” Brandenberger said.

“The video was reviewed multiple times by the homicide detectives, by my staff, by the prosecutor, and by the forensic pathologist. Bodycam videos were reviewed. We listened to and transcribed the four 911 calls and multiple meetings.

“After exhaustive review, we could not determine with reasonable certainty that Mrs. Grayson’s death was either natural, or homicide, or accident. 

“Therefore the manner of death that is appropriate to use is undetermined, meaning could not be determined.”

Grayson’s family hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump to pursue potential litigation and her daughter, Tawnda Grayson, called for justice.

“She was the best mother anyone could ask for — hardworking, compassionate, selfless, and always willing to help others before herself,” Tawnda Grayson said.
