On November 11, drones attacked one of Russia’s largest oil refineries in Omsk, which is located more than several thousand kilometers from the borders of Ukraine, monitoring channels reported.

In particular, the Ukrainian channel Exilenova+ noted that “the strike drones of the Ukrainian Defense Forces covered about 3,000 km.” A large-scale fire was recorded in the industrial zone and it continues to grow.

According to monitoring channels, the attack had been going on for about 4 hours when the first drones flew over. Locals are writing on social media that the explosions are still ongoing.

It is noted that the Omsk refinery is part of Gazprom Neft and has a design capacity to process over 21 million tons of crude oil per year. This is about 10% of the total volume of oil refining in Russia. The plant also produces automobile gasoline and diesel, aviation gas, and a wide range of various oils.
