Ukrainian forces struck an oil refinery in the Siberian city of Omsk, 2,500 km from the Ukrainian border, according to a report. No details on damage, casualties, or the weapon used are yet available. The strike comes hours after a separate wave hit the same refinery in what was described as the longest-range drone attack of the war.
A new report indicates Ukrainian forces struck an oil refinery in Omsk, approximately 2,500 km from the Ukrainian border. The strike comes just over an hour after a separate, more detailed report — covered earlier today by The Zioneer — described an overnight Ukrainian drone attack hitting the same Omsk refinery, with Russia claiming to have intercepted 613 drones nationwide in what was assessed as the longest-range drone attack of the war.
This follow-up report does not specify whether the new strike used drones or other means, nor does it provide damage or casualty figures. The earlier report had noted a fire at the facility. The attack is consistent with Ukraine's expanding campaign against Russian energy infrastructure, striking deeper into Siberian territory than in previous months.
There are no immediate details from Russian officials or independent sources confirming the extent of this latest hit.
