Ukraine's forces strike all five of Russia's largest oil refineries

Ukraine's defense forces have struck all five of Russia's largest oil refineries since October 30, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The attacks targeted facilities in Omsk, Kirishi, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Yaroslavl, with additional strikes on Novokuybyshevsk and Saratov refineries. On November 11, Ukrainian forces hit the Omsk refinery, located nearly 2,500 kilometers from Ukraine's border, causing a fire at the site. This facility, Russia's most powerful refinery with an annual capacity of over 21 million tons, was followed by confirmed strikes on the Kirishi and Saratov plants, with the latter's operations halted after damage to its primary processing unit and other equipment. The strikes aim to reduce fuel production for the Russian military and cut revenues used to fund the war. Earlier attacks on November 7, 5, and 1 targeted the Saratov, Ryazan, and Kstovo refineries, respectively, with local authorities reporting significant damage to industrial infrastructure.
