On November 11, drones targeted the Omsk Oil Refinery, one of Russia's largest facilities with an annual processing capacity of around 21 million tons of oil. The attack reportedly caused a fire at the Gazprom facility, with powerful explosions occurring almost every minute, according to UATV English. Eyewitnesses also noted intense activity by Russian air defense systems.
Russian authorities confirmed the large-scale drone attack on the Omsk refinery, which is crucial to supplying the Russian domestic fuel market. The refinery has been targeted multiple times in prior attacks and has had to suspend operations following several incidents. The drone strike occurred as reports emerged of another drone attack on Russia's Ust-Luga oil terminal in the Leningrad region the previous night. Three Russian helicopters reportedly crashed while responding to that previous attack.
