Residents of Ryazan, located 200 kilometers southeast of Moscow, reportedly heard the drone noise at around 3 am.

Two explosions followed the sound, unleashing hell.

The attack followed another Ukrainian attack on two oil refineries in the Krasnodar region and coincided with Russian attacks in Odesa.

Five people were killed and more than 30 injured in a Russian cluster munition attack on a private law academy in the Ukrainian Black Sea port city.

The video showed explosions and clouds of black smoke, followed by raging flames in the city.Harry Potter Castle”.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu demanded more “means of destruction” as Western supplies of ammunition began arriving in Ukraine.

During a visit to his military HQ, he stated: “It is necessary to increase the volume and quality of weapons and military equipment supplied to troops, first and foremost the means of destruction.”

The grim-faced politician warned Putin about the rate at which military supplies were being provided to his troops.

He said: “There are issues that require special attention and urgent solutions, especially with regard to the provision of the most sought after services models.

“We will discuss measures that will ensure the fulfillment of the tasks of the special military operation.”

Shoigu said his forces “continue to carry out combat tasks in accordance with the plan for the special military operation” in Ukraine, although a faster supply of new modern weaponry is essential.

An increase in the speed of supply is necessary “to maintain the necessary pace of the offensive and ensure that the combat composition of troop groupings is increased for future operations,” he said.

Shoigu’s ministry said today it had “destroyed and intercepted” six Ukrainian kamikaze drones, including one over Ryazan, where the oil refinery was hit overnight.

The statement alleged that three were shot down in the Voronezh region and one each in the Belgorod and Kursk regions.

Ryazan Governor Pavel Markov said about the night raid: “According to preliminary information, there were no casualties.

“An investigation is ongoing.”

Ukraine is also said to have carried out drone strikes in the Voronezh, Belgorod and Kursk regions while blowing up the Ryazan oil refinery and Russia is devastating Odesa.

The country’s repeated attacks on oil refineries have damaged the Russian economy, leading to price hikes and supply problems.
