Ukrainian forces launched a successful drone strike on Monday against a major oil refinery in Omsk, Russia, located nearly 2,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, targeting critical distillation infrastructure. <\/p>\n
Ukrainian media and social platforms reported the attack on Monday, which was subsequently confirmed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after 2:00 PM. The military stated that modernized FP-1 type drones struck the ELOU-AVT-11 crude oil distillation unit, causing damage to its technological columns.<\/p>\n
The facility, owned by Gazprom Neft, specializes in producing various fuels, lubricants, and petrochemicals. It processes over 22 million tons of crude oil annually and is a key supplier for the Russian military, accounting for 11 percent of the country’s total production. Initial assessments suggest the strike affects installations with a processing capacity of 8.4 million tons per year.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian military officials noted on Facebook that the Omsk plant was one of the last major Russian refineries that had not yet been targeted. They also reported that a Russian Su-57 fighter jet attempted to intercept the drones but failed to prevent the impact.<\/p>\n
Omsk regional governor Vitaly Khotsenko stated that the defense ministry shot down hostile drones over the region, though he acknowledged that several reached an industrial center in the northern part of Omsk. Russian media noted this was the first time Khotsenko reported such drone activity in the region.<\/p>\n
The Omsk strike is part of a wider wave of Ukrainian operations against Russian military-linked infrastructure. Recent attacks have damaged facilities in the Baltic ports of Vysotsk and Ust-Luga and caused power outages in occupied Crimea.<\/p>\n
Regional authorities reported additional incidents, including a drone strike on an industrial site in the Dzerzhinsky district of the Kaluga region that sparked a fire. Meanwhile, the Moscow-appointed head of Crimea reported a fatality in Kerch, and the governor of the Yaroslavl region confirmed two people were wounded by drone debris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
