Sources claim that drone attacks on Russia's Ryazan oil refining plant have reduced its capacity by half.

Three industry sources reported that the Rosneft oil refinery in Ryazan, which is operated by Rosneft, has stopped around half of its refining capacities since August 2, following an attack on a Ukrainian drone last week.

Sources claim that two oil refinery units have been shut down following the drone strikes. CDU-3, with an output of 8,600 tons per day and CDU-4, with an output of 11,400 tons.

Rosneft didn't respond to our request for comment immediately.

The Ryazan refinery currently operates with the primary oil-refining unit CDU-6 which has a capacity of 23,200 tonnes per day, or around 48 percent of the total capacity.

According to industry sources, last year the refinery processed 13,1 million tons crude oil and produced 2.3 millions tons motor gasoline, 3.4million tons diesel, 4.2million tons fuel oil, as well as 1.0million tons jet.

Rosnefts Novokuibyshevsk refining plant was also damaged by drones and is currently halted.
