“Last night, electronic warfare and air defence forces repelled a large-scale attack by enemy UAVs on the oil refinery in Yaroslavl. A total of 124 drones were involved. The refinery’s infrastructure was damaged. Emergency services are working to extinguish the fire,” Yaroslavl Region Governor Mikhail Yevrayev said.
