The Ryazan Oil Refinery and Rostov region were targeted by unidentified drones early Sunday morning, resulting in a fire at the refinery and damage to residential infrastructure. The Ryazan Oil Refinery, one of the largest in Russia, processes approximately 13.1 million metric tons of crude oil annually and was hit following previous drone strikes in July and May.
Concurrently, drones targeted the Rostov region, with unmanned aircraft circling Rostov-on-Don for over four hours amid gunfire and helicopter response activity. This wave of drone strikes follows previous attacks on Sochi and Sirius, which damaged an oil depot and targeted air defense systems. The attacks have disrupted operations in key energy facilities and created recurring disruptions around the Russian capital.
