The regional governor of Russia’s Ryazan region, Pavel Malkov, reported that Ukrainian drones were detected in the airspace and were destroyed, according to his Telegram post. He also reminded residents that sharing videos or photos of the aftermath of what he described as “terrorist attacks” is banned in the region.
Social media footage circulated showing bright flashes and a fast-spreading fire across several blocks of the Ryazan GRES thermal power plant. One channel, Supernova, published footage of the burning facility and claimed the power station appeared heavily damaged. Reports suggest at least seven Ukrainian drones struck the plant, though these claims have not been independently verified. The plant is part of Russia’s Unified Energy System for central regions and feeds major 500 kV and 220 kV lines, supplying power to a large area.
Ukraine continues its campaign to target Russian energy infrastructure, and the night between Tuesday and Wednesday was no exception.
The governor reminded residents that sharing videos or photos of the aftermath of “terrorist attacks” is banned in the region.
Summary of sourced claims: Ukrainian drones allegedly attacked Ryazan GRES; seven drones reported, no independent verification yet; the plant serves significant power lines in the central region.
