Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that 15 UAVs were shot down overnight.

"Eight UAVs were intercepted over the Ryazan region, six over the Kursk region, and one over the Belgorod region," the ministry stated.

Local Ryazan channels, residents, and Russian media outlets reported another fire near the Ryazan oil refinery.
