Ukraine launches drone attacks on several Russian regions

Ukraine launched drone strikes against several Russian regions in the hours leading up to Wednesday morning, according to Russian officials, with Russian media reporting a fire at the Ryazan oil refinery as a result of the attack.

Pavel Malkov, governor of the Ryazan region, which borders Moscow Oblast in the northwest, said there were no injuries following drone strikes there.

The attack sparked a fire at the Ryazan oil refinery, according to Baza, a Russian cable channel close to the security services.

The refinery refines about 5.8% of Russia’s total refined crude and is owned and operated by Rosneft. It has been a frequent target of Ukrainian airstrikes.

The governors of the Kursk and Voronezh regions in southwestern Russia, which border Ukraine, also reported drone strikes on their territories, saying there was no damage or injuries.
