An oil refinery in Ryazan, Russia, southeast of Moscow, has been set ablaze following a series of Ukrainian drone attacks. The incident, which occurred early in the morning, involved multiple drones hitting the refinery, one of Russia's largest. Despite most drones being intercepted and shot down, at least three managed to strike the Ryazan oil refinery, causing significant fire damage over 150 square meters. State-owned Tass news agency reported the fire, and footage has emerged showing a Ukrainian attack drone diving into a refinery unit, leading to an explosion and multiple fires. In addition to Ryazan, other Russian regions such as Kursk, Bilhorod, Voronezh, Bryansk, and Leningrad also reported UAV sightings. Russia claims to have downed multiple drones. The attack on the Ryazan refinery, notably one of the highest volume refineries in Russia, raises questions about the adequacy of air defenses, as the facility seemingly lacked advanced protection against such threats. As a result of the attack, at least two people are in moderate condition.
