Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in Omsk, Russia, 2,400 km from the border, in what appears to be the longest-range drone attack of the war, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). Russia's Defense Ministry said it intercepted 613 Ukrainian drones overnight.
Updated distance and massive drone interception figure emerge from the overnight Ukrainian attack on Russia's Omsk oil refinery. As The Zioneer reported at 14:20 Jerusalem, the refinery was struck earlier today. The latest report from journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) revises the strike distance to 2,400 km from the Ukrainian border, making it potentially the longest-range drone attack of the war. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed to have intercepted 613 Ukrainian drones overnight, a figure that would surpass the 660 drones claimed on June 26.
The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of Ukrainian deep-strike operations against Russian oil infrastructure, including refineries in Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa, and Tyumen, as well as a massive 660-drone attack on June 26. The Omsk refinery is Russia's largest, and the strike underscores Ukraine's expanding reach into Russian territory.
The Ukrainian military has not yet commented on the operation. The Russian Defense Ministry's claim of 613 drones downed has not been independently verified. The previous Zioneer bulletin from 14:20 reported the strike at 2,700 km; the updated distance of 2,400 km may reflect revised coordinates or a different launch point.
