Summary
Drones struck the Slavneft-YaNOS oil refinery in Yaroslavl, Russia, overnight on November 2-3, 2026, sparking fires across several sections of the plant. Local residents reported loud explosions and a fire at the facility, and a witness recorded at least five fire outbreaks. Two employees were injured, reportedly by shrapnel, and debris from downed drones damaged nearby buildings and cars. Russian authorities said air defences intercepted a large number of drones overnight; Ukrainian monitoring channels reported the strike. The refinery, one of Russia's largest, is owned by Slavneft, which is jointly controlled by Rosneft and Gazprom Neft. Reports differ on some details, including the number of drones and the scale of damage.
