Drones strike Ryazan oil refinery, major fire reported
Ukraine launched a large-scale overnight drone attack on May 15 that struck the Rosneft oil refinery in Ryazan, Russia, producing a massive fire captured on footage. Governor Pavel Malkov said three people were killed and 12 injured, and a multistory residential block with Russian-flag colored cladding was hit, gutting apartments and causing civilian damage. The Ryazan refinery is one of Russia's largest, with roughly 17 million tons annual capacity, and the blaze engulfed processing areas, risking major disruption to fuel production. Hitting a key energy facility and nearby housing raises the stakes in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and could tighten Russian fuel supplies while worsening civilian safety.
Ryazan Oil Refinery bellows out smoke, as carcinogenic splats (oil rain) now drops on the city after Ukrainian strikes throughout the night.
It was just yesterday that the bunker grandpa declared that anyone who films damage will be punished. Guess not.
Let mordor feel the crunch, kinetic sanctions at work.
Blacken their skies and make them suffer.
Russia needs to be more careful.
I call it an urban beautification program.
