Drone Attack Causes Fire at Russia’s Ryazan Refinery, Regional Governor Says
- On Thursday, a major Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at a Ryazan oil refinery, a facility accounting for almost 5% of Russia's total oil refining throughput.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced the resumption of energy strikes on Thursday, stating Ukraine paused operations for 3 days to comply with wishes but resumed because Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure.
- This event marks the first strike since President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire on Sunday, though neither side confirmed the agreement; the Ryazan refinery has faced several drone attacks in recent months.
- Ryazan governor Pavel Malkov cancelled classes in schools and kindergartens in two districts, citing what he called mass drone attacks, while emergency services worked at the scene where a warehouse was also damaged.
- Owned by Russian oil major Rosneft, the refinery serves as a critical fuel source for Moscow, and officials are currently assessing the extent of material damage caused by the strike.
