Ukraine hits Ryazan refinery units accounting for over 77% of crude capacity
A Ukrainian drone attack on the Ryazan oil refinery in Ryazan, Russia, hit the refinery’s largest primary crude-processing units, Ukrainian defense technology company Fire Point reported on Sept. 6.
On September 6, Ukrainian drones attacked the Ryazan oil refinery in Russia, targeting its largest primary crude-processing units, according to Ukrainian defense technology company Fire Point. The attack, confirmed by FP-1 drones, struck the ELOU-AVT-6 unit, the refinery's most significant processing facility, with an annual capacity of 8.5 million metric tons.
Fire Point also reported damage to the AVT-3 unit, which can process 3.1 million metric tons per year annually. Collectively, these attacked units represent over 77% of the refinery's total primary crude-processing capacity. Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, or HUR, stated that the attack was part of a joint deep-strike operation alongside Ukraine's Defense Forces.
As a result of the strike, a major fire erupted at the Russian facility, causing significant damage to the infrastructures and key production capabilities of the Ryazan refinery. Earlier in the day, local social media channels reported drone attacks on the Ryazan refinery, which is one of Russia's largest. Both the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Fire Point independently confirmed the strike on the refinery.
In addition to targeting the Ryazan refinery, Ukraine's Defense Forces also struck a Russian airfield in Rostov Oblast, hitting a Podlet radar station and two Pantsir-S1 air defense gun-missile systems in the region.
