Ukrainian drones targeted the Ryazan oil refinery in Russia once again, causing a fire at the facility. The incident marks the eighth time the refinery has been hit since the start of the year, according to local authorities. The cause of the fire and the extent of the damage have not yet been fully disclosed.
The Ryazan refinery, a key component of Russia’s energy infrastructure, has faced multiple drone attacks over recent months. The recurring strikes have raised concerns about escalating conflict-related sabotage and its potential impact on regional fuel supplies. Russian officials have condemned the attacks and vowed to strengthen security measures at critical infrastructure sites.
There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the latest assault. The Ukrainian government has not officially acknowledged involvement, though Ukrainian sources have previously indicated the use of drone tactics in their efforts against Russian logistical targets. The situation remains tense as authorities continue investigations and efforts to prevent further incidents.
