A major fire broke out at the Ryazan oil refinery overnight on May 1 after drones attacked Russia's Ryazan Oblast, Russian media claimed.

Attacks on Russian oil refineries
Ukraine has been regularly targeting Russian oil refineries with long-range drones since late January.
At least 13 strikes on Russian refineries have been recorded, said Ukraine's SBU Security Service.
Oil extraction and processing in Russia have decreased by 12% after the strikes.
Revenue from oil product exports accounts for one-third of the Russian budget and a substantial portion of the military budget, SBU Chief Vasyl Maliuk said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
