Ukrainian drones hit Russian oil refinery and airfield, causing fires

–

Neutral summary

In the early hours of September 17, Ukrainian drones struck the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery near Yaroslavl and a military airfield in Rostov-on-Don, sparking fires at both sites. Yaroslavl regional governor Mikhail Yevrayev said no deaths or injuries were reported in the refinery attack. In Rostov-on-Don, falling debris damaged a transformer substation, leaving four districts without power. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky released footage of the strike, claiming six aircraft were hit and saying, “Russia must choose peace.” The attacks came despite US President Donald Trump’s claims of a supposed “energy truce,” suggesting no real agreement on halting strikes on energy infrastructure has been reached.
