- Ukraine's General Staff reported that an overnight attack started a fire at the Ryazan refinery in Russia
- The Ryazan refinery has a capacity of about 17 million tonnes of oil per year and produces gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, and other petroleum products
Why it matters: The Ryazan refinery is a major Russian fuel-producing facility with 17 million tonnes of annual capacity across gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. A strike that successfully ignites a fire at a facility of this scale directly reduces Russia's domestic fuel output from this site.
