The group arrived in Tatarstan on Tuesday evening, and mosques in Nizhnekamsk held collective janoza prayers for the dead before their dispatch home. The 5-year-old girl killed outside the hostel was buried in Tatarstan on Tuesday afternoon. Forensic examination remains the gate: Tashkent's foreign ministry says repatriation will follow their completion and "the necessary official procedures", with no date attached. Tatarstan has assigned First Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Nigmatullin to organise transport assistance, on Rais Rustam Minnikhanov's instruction.
Dushanbe's count changed within three hours. On Tuesday morning the Tajik foreign ministry said no Tajik citizens were among the injured; by midday it told Asia-Plus that two are in Nizhnekamsk's central district hospital, one of them in severe condition, and that the consulate-general in Ufa is monitoring both. The body of Ramazonali Basirov, the 30-year-old forklift driver from Sughd who died at the hostel, is expected in Dushanbe on 13-14 August.
The Russian medical picture is no steadier. Tatarstan's leadership reported 2 patients in serious condition on Sunday evening. An aide to the federal health minister put it at 25 in hospital with 8 in grave condition on Tuesday morning, and within half an hour a Naberezhnye Chelny hospital described the same 8 as moderate. The desk carries the count as 25 hospitalised and the severity split as unresolved.
Compensation follows the same pattern of near-answers. Tatarstan has set payments of 2 million rubles per death and 300,000 to 600,000 rubles for injuries, and Minnikhanov says families of the dead and all affected will receive assistance. No source read states in terms that the payments extend to foreign families, and Tashkent's commission mandate speaks of comprehensive help without a figure.
Ukraine's drone forces have claimed the strike on the Taneco refinery and said nothing about the 13 civilians killed in the same strike. Moscow has filled that vacuum: foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Kyiv deliberately struck the residences of citizens of friendly states "to drive a wedge into fraternal relations". Tashkent and Dushanbe have so far declined to adopt any authorship framing at all.
