- 28 Aug 2026dronesMorning of 28 August: drones attacked Yaroslavl around 5:30 a.m. — residents of the Frunzensky district heard a series of muffled explosions as air defences engaged.

The indirect signs match the 6 August strike: the exit road towards Moscow was closed at the junction of Moskovsky Prospekt and the South-Western ring road (right by the refinery), Tunoshna airport suspended arrivals and departures, and two kindergartens (No. 98 and No. 28) were closed for damage assessment. As of the morning Russian outlets called the reports of a hit on the refinery unconfirmed; the Ukrainian General Staff summary had not yet been published at collection time.
