An oil refinery is on fire in Ryazan, Russia. This was reported by Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council. “Ryazan, the refinery is on fire,” Kovalenko wrote. He has not provided any further details at this time. In particular, there is currently no official information regarding the cause of the fire, its scale, or possible consequences.
It is also unknown whether the fire is linked to a drone attack. Such details require separate confirmation. The Ryazan Oil Refinery is one of the largest enterprises in Russia’s oil industry. It is located in the Ryazan Region and is engaged in oil refining and the production of petroleum products. Fires and explosions at Russian oil refineries have occurred repeatedly in recent times amid attacks on energy infrastructure. At the same time, in this case, there is currently not enough data to determine the cause of the fire.
The main confirmed report at this time is that a fire broke out on the grounds of the Ryazan Oil Refinery. Information regarding the scale of the fire, damage to the facility, and the possible cause of the incident may become available later. He posted a photo on his Telegram channel showing the fire.
Agents of the “ATESH” guerrilla movement claimed that they had destroyed a communications tower near Perm on the eve of the strike against the “Lukoil-Permnaftorgsintez” oil refinery. According to the group, the tower provided a backup communication link between the facility’s security personnel and the Russian military units guarding the site.
