“Due to falling debris, there was a fire on the territory of one company. According to preliminary information, there are no victims, material damage is estimated,” the letter quotes the governor of the Ryazan Region, Pavel Malkov.
He added that debris fell in several places in the area and reminded Russian citizens of the ban on publishing photos and videos of the aftermath of the attacks.
Telegram channel Astra reported that the Ukrainians hit the refinery, where a fire broke out after the drone attack. “It’s smoking, damn it, not just the area of the oil refinery, something else exploded there, there’s a lot of traffic,” Astra quotes local residents.
According to her, footage of the burning refinery appeared, which she allegedly managed to geolocate.
Ukrainians have struck at the oil refinery in Ryazan for at least the eighth time since the beginning of 2025. Recently, for example, November 15, October 23, or September 5 became the target of Ukrainian attacks, The Moscow Times recalled.
The Ryazan plant belongs to Rosněft. In 2024, it processed 13.1 million tons of raw materials and secured five percent of the total oil refining capacity in Russia. The plant supplies the Moscow region with fuel.
