Ryazan refinery and Wildberries hub go out in a blaze of glory

Original version ·

It turns out drones have a real eye for prime Russian real estate tonight.

The night in Ryazan was clearly far too quiet for everyone's liking. Things kicked off around 2 AM when the local refinery decided to start burning quite intensely. This isn't just any plant—it is a major supplier of aviation fuel and diesel for the Russian military.

While the refinery was putting on its own light show, the local Wildberries logistics center seemingly felt left out and caught fire too. The irony of losing both the fuel for the jets and the warehouse full of cheap consumer goods in one go is peak 2024.

Local officials are busy talking about debris and power outages, but the visuals speak for themselves.

It seems that in Russia, the future is literally going up in smoke.

    Are we sure it's not just another 'smoking accident'? Those are so common there.
