Ukrainian Long-Range Drone Strike Ignites Ryazan Oil Refinery
Ukrainian forces conducted a large-scale long-range drone attack on the night of May 15, 2026, successfully targeting a major oil refinery in the central Russian city of Ryazan. The strike triggered a significant fire at the facility, which is one of Russia's largest refining centers. This operation was part of a coordinated retaliatory campaign that also targeted naval assets in Dagestan and military aircraft in Krasnodar Krai, aimed at degrading Russia's energy infrastructure and logistical support for its ongoing military operations in Ukraine.
