Ukraine strikes Russia’s Ryazan oil refinery, military says
- On Saturday, the Ukrainian army said it struck the Ryazan oil refinery in the Ryazan region near Moscow, a day after Russia's deadly attacks on Kyiv.
- Aimed at reducing strike capacity, Ukraine's General Staff said the hit targeted Russia's ability to launch missile and bomb strikes as part of a campaign on energy and military infrastructure in the nearly four-year conflict.
- Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov said Russian air defences shot down 25 Ukrainian drones during the night and numerous explosions and a large fire were recorded, adding `Falling debris caused a fire on the premises of one enterprise`.
- With capacity about 340,000 barrels a day, the Ryazan refinery produces about 840,000 tons of TS-1 jet kerosene used by the Russian aerospace forces, and the Ukrainian army claimed to have hit it Saturday.
- It was the second attack on the Ryazan refinery in four weeks as part of recurring strikes that also hit Novorossiysk port, Saratov refinery, and the Nebo-U radar station, the General Staff said.
