The command post of the Russian Pacific Fleet was also destroyed.
The forces of the unmanned systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the GUR (Ukrainian Defence Intelligence) struck again at the facilities of the Ryazan Oil Refinery Company, which is involved in providing support to the Russian occupation army. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It is noted that as a result of the strike, explosions and a fire were recorded in the area of the specified target.
“The Ryazan Oil Refinery is one of the four largest oil refineries in the Russian Federation. In particular, the enterprise produces diesel fuel and TS-1 jet fuel,” the General Staff noted.
They also added that the day before, Ukrainian missile forces struck a forward command post near the settlement of Korenevo in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. It is noted that the point could have been occupied by an operational group of the Pacific Fleet. The consequences of the damage are currently being clarified.
"Combat work on enemy command posts and important facilities involved in providing the Russian aggressor army will continue," the General Staff added.

According to UNIAN information from sources in the special services, although the Russian Defense Ministry announced the downing of eight drones, eyewitnesses recorded about ten explosions on video. After them, strong fires began in different places of the oil refinery.
"Local law enforcement officers quickly cordoned off the oil refinery area in order to prevent numerous eyewitnesses from entering the territory who could confirm the accuracy of the drones' hits, as was the case the previous time, on the night of January 24. Then, there was also an effective attack by good drones on the Ryazan Oil Refinery. Numerous videos and photos on social networks with comments from local residents confirmed the hit and detonation of large containers with oil products," UNIAN sources note.
They also added that the Ryazan Oil Refinery has a declared oil product processing capacity of up to 17 million tons per year, making it one of the largest oil refineries in Russia.
"Some of the oil products produced are supplied to the Russian armed forces, and some are exported. The oil refinery is located more than 450 kilometers from the Ukrainian border," UNIAN sources added.
