Russia's Ryazan restores power supply, fires contained after 'massive' drone attack

Russia's city ‌of Ryazan has restored power supply, while the fires ‌at unnamed industrial sites have been either contained or put out following a massive drone attack, the local governor said on social ⁠media ​on Thursday.

One ⁠person had been injured and falling drone debris had caused fires ⁠at industrial facilities in the region, he had said earlier. ​Ryazan, more than 200 kilometres (124 miles) southeast of Moscow, is ⁠home to a large oil refinery, among other assets. More than ⁠200 ​drones had attacked the region, he added.

The extent of the possible damage is not immediately ⁠clear. The Ryazan oil refinery, which feeds Moscow with fuel, ⁠has been attacked ⁠several times this year. It can process 340,000 barrels per day.
