Ukrainian Drone Attack Damages Russian Yaroslavl Oil Refinery, Two InjuredPreviousNext

A Ukrainian drone attack damaged the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery in Yaroslavl, Russia, injuring two workers and causing a fire, according to regional governor Mikhail Evrayev. Russian air defenses reportedly intercepted 856 drones overnight across multiple regions, including near Moscow and Crimea. The refinery, operated by Russian energy firms Rosneft and Gazprom Neft, has faced repeated strikes amid ongoing conflict. Emergency services are working to control the fire, and authorities temporarily restricted traffic in affected areas.
