Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in Russia's Ryazan region early Thursday, newspaper Daily Sabah reported. The strike marks the practical resumption of attacks against Russian energy facilities following a brief pause.

According to reports in The Jerusalem Post and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the attack came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared an end to the energy ceasefire announced earlier in the week by US President Donald Trump. Zelenskyy sharply condemned disruptions and restrictions on intelligence sharing by Washington.

Further details regarding the extent of damage at the refinery have not yet been released.
