The Ryazan oil refinery, Russia’s fourth-largest, halted its main crude distillation unit following a Ukrainian drone strike earlier this week, two industry sources told Reuters on October 24.
According to the report, the CDU-4 primary processing unit was shut down on Thursday after a fire broke out as a result of the attack. Several related units, including reforming, vacuum gasoil hydrotreating, and catalytic cracking, were also temporarily shut down.
Ukraine has intensified its strikes on Russian energy infrastructure in recent weeks, as US-mediated peace talks led by President Donald Trump have shown little progress.
No casualties were reported, and Russian officials have not publicly commented on the extent of the damage or the timeline for resuming operations.
Previously, it was reported that drones struck deep inside Russia, hitting two key industrial targets: a defense-linked mechanical plant in Mordovia and a major oil complex in Dagestan.
