A devastating explosion occurred at Rosneft’s oil refinery in Ryazan, Russia, resulting in the loss of one life and injuring three others.
The blast happened during scheduled maintenance work, when equipment depressurization occurred, according to the refinery’s representative cited by TASS.
The refinery, owned by Russia’s largest oil producer Rosneft, has been targeted multiple times by Ukrainian drones, leading to a temporary suspension of operations in February.
Located approximately 196 kilometers southeast of Moscow, the Ryazan refinery is one of Russia’s largest, processing 13.1 million metric tons of oil in 2024.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of oil infrastructure in the region.
