Ukrainian drones struck Russia's Syzran oil refinery on May 21, causing a major fire at a Rosneft facility as part of Kyiv's sustained campaign against Russian energy infrastructure.
According to Kyiv Post, the attack on the facility in the Samara region resulted in reported casualties and significant damage. The strike represents a further escalation in Ukraine's targeting of Russian energy assets, aimed at disrupting Moscow's war economy and fuel supplies.
The Syzran refinery is one of Russia's major oil processing facilities. Rosneft, Russia's largest state-controlled oil company, has faced repeated Ukrainian drone strikes in recent weeks. The campaign has significantly reduced parts of Russia's fuel refining capacity, disrupting multiple refineries across the country.
