What happened
Russia's defense ministry reported that Ukraine targeted an oil refinery in Ryazan, near Moscow, causing a fire after drone debris fell on the site. This occurred as Ukraine announced it would no longer adhere to an energy ceasefire unilaterally declared by Donald Trump. Separately, a senator called for an investigation into restrictions placed on Ukraine's use of Starshield, a military version of Starlink developed by Elon Musk's SpaceX.
