Russia Faces Massive Drone Attack as Explosions Rock Ryazan Oil Refinery
Russia has come under one of the most extensive drone assaults in recent months, with explosions reported near the Ryazan Oil Refinery and multiple other regions. The Russian Defence Ministry has claimed that its air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 49 drones, but local reports suggest the attacks were more severe than officially acknowledged.
According to Russian sources, the drone strikes targeted the regions of Kursk, Bryansk, Belgorod, and even the illegally occupied Crimean Peninsula. However, the most significant event of the night took place in the Ryazan region, where powerful blasts were heard near the RNPK oil depot. Local residents reported at least ten drones being shot down over the tank farm, with videos circulating on Telegram showing plumes of smoke rising into the sky.
Further reports indicate that at least one residential house in a private sector of Ryazan caught fire due to the attack. The scale of the damage remains unclear, as regional authorities have refrained from making any public statements regarding the incident.
The situation remains tense as Ukraine continues to push back against Russian aggression using advanced drone technology. This latest strike demonstrates Kyiv’s capability to hit critical infrastructure deep inside Russian territory. The Kremlin has repeatedly attempted to downplay the effectiveness of such operations, yet the increasing frequency and impact of these attacks raise serious concerns for Moscow.
As the war continues, Ukraine has increasingly relied on drone warfare as a strategic tool to undermine Russian military logistics and fuel supplies. The Ryazan oil depot is a crucial facility in Russia’s energy network, and its potential disruption could add to the strain on the Russian war effort.

---|---|
Ryazan | Explosions near oil depot, residential fire |
Kursk | Air defence reportedly intercepted drones |
Bryansk | Drone attacks reported |

Despite Russia’s official stance, the scale of Ukraine’s long-range drone capabilities has become increasingly evident. This latest attack follows a series of similar strikes targeting Russian military and energy infrastructure. As the conflict intensifies, it is evident that Ukraine is ramping up efforts to strike deep into Russian territory, ensuring that the Kremlin feels the consequences of its ongoing war.
