Over the past two days, facilities accounting for more than 10% of oil refining capacity have been damaged in the Russian Federation, according to Bloomberg.

The attack on the Ryazan oil refinery, about 200 kilometers from Moscow, has hit a facility that produces 17.1 million tons a year, or about 340,000 barrels a day.

The Ryazan refinery is the main motor fuel supplier for Russia's metropolitan regions.

The refinery is the second victim of strikes that have damaged facilities that account for more than 10% of Russia's refining capacity over the past two days.
