Russian drone attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure resumed, targeting a key Russian oil refinery in Ryazan, according to reports. The refinery's main unit was halted after a drone strike on Oct. 15, with operations resuming following a pause after Trump's 'energy ceasefire' announcement.
The attack follows a series of strikes on the refinery, including a September incident that led to shutdowns and a May attack that required repairs until mid-July. Moscow has continued its drone assaults, with a major ballistic missile attack on Kyiv on Oct. 13-14, and a recent strike targeting over 15 energy facilities across Ukraine.
Ukraine's energy grid remains under threat, with at least 8 killed and 60 injured in attacks that cut power to a million people. The UN reported a sharp rise in civilian casualties, with 328 killed and 2,105 wounded in October alone. Trump's waiver of sanctions under the Graham Act comes as tensions rise between Kyiv and Washington over energy strikes.
