Ukrainian Drones Strike Russian Oil Refineries in Continued Attacks

The attacks targeted facilities in Ryazan and Voronezh, causing significant damage and disrupting Russia's oil production.

Ukrainian forces conducted drone strikes on oil refineries in Ryazan and Voronezh on May 1, marking a continuation of strategic attacks on Russian oil infrastructure.
The Ryazan oil refinery, a major facility operated by Rosneft, was engulfed in flames following the overnight attack.
Intelligence sources indicate the strikes are part of Ukraine's broader strategy to weaken Russia's oil refining capabilities and economic stability.
The attacks have led to a noticeable decrease in Russia's oil production, with a 7.4% drop in motor petrol production reported in late March.
Ukrainian officials view these oil facilities as legitimate military targets, aiming to hinder Russian military logistics and funding.
