Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov said Ukrainian drones attacked the region overnight on November 5, with fires at industrial sites after debris fell and damage to homes and power lines. Telegram channels reported fires at the Ryazan oil refinery and a Wildberries logistics center, but those site-specific reports have not been independently confirmed in the source material.
Ukrainian drones attacked Russia’s Ryazan region overnight on November 5, Governor Pavel Malkov said, reporting fires at industrial facilities, damaged power lines and damage to homes. Separate Telegram channels said the Ryazan oil refinery and a Wildberries logistics center were among the sites affected, but Malkov did not identify the industrial facilities and those reports remain unconfirmed in the available information.
Malkov said fires broke out at industrial sites in Ryazan after what he described as falling debris struck them. He did not name the sites or provide details about the extent of the damage. The reported outage affected parts of the city after power lines were damaged.
The governor also reported that windows were shattered at a school and classes were canceled there. In Ryazan district, private homes were damaged. In the Rybnovsky district, a nonresidential building in a private neighborhood caught fire, and one person was injured, Malkov said.
Ukrainian monitoring channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+ claimed that drones struck the Ryazan oil refinery and that a fire broke out there. Exilenova+ also reported a fire at a warehouse belonging to Wildberries. The independent Telegram channel Astra, citing local residents, separately reported a fire at a Wildberries logistics center. Wildberries had not commented on the report at the time of the source report.
Damage Reaches Homes and Infrastructure
The reported effects extend beyond the claims about industrial facilities. According to Malkov, the attack damaged power lines, disrupted electricity in parts of Ryazan, damaged private homes and led to the cancellation of classes at one school. The reported injury in Rybnovsky district adds a confirmed human impact in the governor’s account.
If the reported refinery fire is confirmed, the incident would add to attacks on a facility that the source report says Ukraine’s armed forces have struck multiple times. Fires at industrial sites can also create risks for workers and nearby communities, though the available information does not establish the scale or duration of any fire, or whether refinery operations were affected. The separate warehouse report matters because it concerns a major retailer’s logistics site, but the cause and extent of any damage there are not confirmed.

Earlier Strikes on the Ryazan Refinery
The Ryazan oil refinery has previously been targeted, according to the source report, which says Ukraine’s armed forces have struck it multiple times. The report does not give dates for those earlier attacks or details about their damage, so it does not establish a pattern or allow a direct comparison with the November 5 incident.
In this attack, Malkov’s public account described fires at industrial facilities without naming them. The refinery and Wildberries site were identified in reports by Telegram channels, including accounts that attributed their information to local residents. These accounts are distinct from the governor’s statement and should not be treated as official confirmation of the specific sites.
““falling debris””
— Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov, as quoted in Meduza’s report
Which Sites Were Struck?
The available reporting does not establish whether the Ryazan oil refinery or the Wildberries logistics center was among the facilities Malkov described. The governor did not identify the industrial sites, and the refinery and warehouse reports came from Telegram channels rather than an official statement naming them.
It is also unclear how many drones were involved, what damage occurred at any industrial site, whether the reported fires were contained, or whether refinery operations or Wildberries deliveries were disrupted. The source report gives no further details about the injured person’s condition, the number of households affected by the outage, or when power was restored.
Further Details on Damage and Outages
Further updates from Ryazan regional authorities may clarify which facilities caught fire, the extent of damage and the status of electricity and school operations. Information from emergency services could establish whether the fires were contained and provide additional details about the injury and damage to homes.
Confirmation from the refinery or Wildberries would help establish whether their sites were affected and whether operations were interrupted. Until such details are available, the governor’s account supports reporting an overnight attack and damage across the region, while the specific refinery and warehouse claims should remain attributed to the Telegram channels that reported them.
