Ukrainian drones hit major Russian oil refinery in Yaroslavl, sparking fire
One of Russia's largest oil refineries, Slavneft-YANOS in the city of Yaroslavl, was damaged and set on fire in a large Ukrainian drone attack overnight into Tuesday, 3 November, the regional governor said. Mikhail Evrayev said air defences repelled 124 drones aimed at the plant. Two refinery employees were taken to hospital with shrapnel wounds, and falling debris broke windows in homes and damaged cars.
