Details: The Ryazan oil refinery, owned by the Russian state-run oil company Rosneft, is located more than 500 km from the border with Ukraine. It is one of the most powerful oil-processing facilities in Russia, with most of its products exported abroad.

Ukrainian drones have previously struck the Ryazan refinery multiple times. The facility produces aviation fuel, petrol and diesel fuel for the Russian forces.

A large-scale fire was recorded at the site. The full extent of the damage is still being established.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also reported several successful strikes carried out by Ukraine's defence forces over the past day:

• a small missile boat and a minesweeper at the naval base in Kaspiysk
• ammunition storage points near Yepifanivka and Rovenky in the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk Oblast
• a logistics and materiel depot in Raihorodka in occupied Luhansk Oblast
• and an electronic warfare equipment depot in Dmytrivka in the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk Oblast

Ukrainian forces also struck a Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation coastal technical reconnaissance post in Mariupol, hitting an MR-232 Bussol-S radar station and an optical-electronic module.

In addition, a Russian fuel and lubricants depot in Mariupol was hit.
