unian.ua (Ukrainian) —

Drones attacked one of Russia's largest oil refineries in Omsk on November 11, causing a large fire, according to monitoring channels. The facility is located thousands of kilometers from Ukraine's borders. Ukrainian channel Exilenova+ reported that strike drones traveled about 3,000 km. The fire in the industrial zone continues to spread, with explosions ongoing for roughly four hours after the first drones arrived. The Omsk refinery, part of Gazprom Neft, has a capacity exceeding 21 million tons of crude oil annually, about 10% of Russia's total refining. This is not the first attack; drones also struck the plant on October 9 and a local chemical factory in October.
