Ukraine says its forces strike Russia’s Omsk oil refinery, described by outlets as the country’s largest. The attack is reported to take place about 2,500 km from the Ukrainian border, with multiple sources citing Ukrainian long-range drones. Kyiv’s General Staff and the Special Operations sphere (as described by one outlet) say the refinery is supplying fuel for the Russian military, and that the strike is part of a broader campaign targeting energy and other assets.
Several reports say it is the second time the facility has been hit, with prior attacks mentioned as occurring in July. Russian officials quoted in one report say an industrial zone in the Omsk region is hit by a drone, with a fire reported and queues forming at gas stations. Another outlet attributes the strike to upgraded FP-1 drones. Ukrainian statements do not provide detailed information on the damage, while reported Russian impacts focus on disruptions in local fuel supply.
