  "account": "Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) carried out a drone strike on Russia's Omsk Oil Refinery, located 2,500 kilometers away, for the second time on Thursday. The operation, conducted by 'Deep Strike' units, involved drones traversing nearly 3,000 kilometers to reach the facility, which the Ukrainian military regards as Russia's largest oil refinery. The attack, in coordination with Russia's insurgent movement Chernaya Iskra, targeted the facility, part of Gazprom Neft, which processes over 21 million tons of oil annually. Following the strike, a fire broke out at the refinery, causing queues at gas stations in Omsk. The SSO previously struck the refinery on July 6, damaging critical equipment including the ELOU-AVT-11 unit, described as the plant's most important installation. The attack significantly impacted Russian oil processing, which had fallen to its lowest level in over two decades.",
