Russia's Ryazan Oil Refinery Halts Operations After Drone Strike
Russia's Ryazan oil refinery has suspended operations after an attack by Ukrainian drones on Monday, three industry sources told Reuters. The main crude distillation unit at the refinery, CDU-6, caught fire in the attack and the plant has fully suspended oil processing. Rosneft, which owns the plant, did not respond to a request for comment.
- The suspension of operations highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in modern conflict zones, where drone strikes can have devastating consequences on industrial production.
