Ukrainian SOF strike Omsk oil refinery for third time

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SOF) attacked the Omsk Oil Refinery in Russia for a third time on November 11, according to a press service report. The drones utilized by SOF covered a distance of nearly 3,000 kilometres to reach their target. The Omsk Oil Refinery, Russia's largest, is owned by Gazprom Neft and processes over 21 million tonnes of oil each year.

It manufactures gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and petrochemical products. Situated about 2,500 kilometres away from the Ukrainian border, this is the most distant Russian oil refinery to be struck by Ukrainian drones, as stated by SOF on Telegram. The refinery was initially targeted on July 6, shutting down completely for repairs and ceasing oil production afterward. The second attack occurred on October 8.
