Kyiv adapts to new reality of life under constant Russian drone attack
Since late August, Russia has ramped up the frequency of its air assaults on the Ukrainian capital using jet-powered drones that are harder to intercept.
Fire Point, a Ukrainian defense technology company, has confirmed that an FP-1 drone strike was carried out on a major Russian oil refinery located in Ryazan. The company stated that the attack targeted one of Russia's largest refineries, which has a capacity of approximately 17 million metric tons of oil per year. Upon the strike, a fire erupted at the refinery.
The attack occurred overnight on September 6, as per the information provided by Fire Point. The Ryazan refinery had previously halted its crude processing activities following a Ukrainian drone attack on July 29. Industry sources noted that the refinery processed 13.1 million metric tons of crude oil in 2024, accounting for around 4.9% of Russia's total oil refining volume.
In that same year, the refinery generated 2.2 million metric tons of gasoline, 3.4 million metric tons of diesel fuel, and 4.3 million metric tons of fuel oil.
