On the night of September 5, units of the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces, struck the Ryazan oil refinery.

“The Ryazan oil refinery, with a design capacity of 17.1 million tons of oil per year, is among the four largest oil refineries in the Russian Federation. It produces gasoline of various grades, diesel, jet fuel, liquefied gases, and other petroleum products. The facility is involved in supplying the Russian occupation army,” the General Staff commented.
