More than 100 Ukrainian drones were aimed at targets in 11 Russian regions, hitting the Ryazan oil refinery and a heating power plant, in one of Ukraine's largest attacks in an overnight strike Friday.
“This refinery is one of the largest in Russia, it can process 17 million tons of oil a year. At least three tanks are burning there. In addition, a fire broke out and engulfed the workshop where the diesel fuel and aviation kerosene hydrotreating unit is located,” an official with Ukraine's SBU security service told POLITICO, speaking on condition of being granted anonymity.
The refinery is about 500 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
Ukraine reportedly hit a Russian oil refinery and targeted Moscow during an attack involving a wave of at least 121 drones, one of the largest single operations of its kind during the war.
