Over the past two days, 12% of Russian oil refining facilities were damaged by Ukrainian UAVs.

This was reported by Bloomberg.

According to the publication, the three facilities attacked by Ukrainian drones over the past two days account for about 12% of Russia's oil refining facilities.

Wednesday's airstrike caused a fire at one of the country's largest oil refineries, the Ryazan refinery of Rosneft PJSC. The refinery had to shut down two primary oil refining units.

The Ryazan refinery, about 200 kilometres southeast of Moscow, has a capacity of 17.1 million tonnes a year, or about 340,000 barrels a day. It is a major supplier of motor fuels to the Russian regions around the capital.

The small Novoshakhtinsk refinery in the southern Rostov region was also shut down due to a drone attack. The latest wave of attacks, which began on Tuesday, damaged a unit at PJSC LUKoil's Norsi refinery in Nizhny Novgorod and an oil depot in Orel region.
