Explosions can be heard, and smoke is coming out of the pipes.

Drones attacked Russia's largest oil refinery—the Omsk Oil Refinery.

According to ASTRA, local residents have reported this.

“The Omsk Oil Refinery is under attack. Smoke is coming out of the pipes. Two explosions were heard,” they say.

Earlier, a drone threat alert was issued in the Omsk Region. Authorities announced possible restrictions on mobile internet use. Restrictions were also imposed at the Omsk airport.
Prior to this, a drone threat alert had been declared throughout the entire Ural Federal District.

The attack was confirmed by Governor Vitaliy Khotsenko.

As a reminder, on July 6, the Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed the strike on the Omsk Oil Refinery, located nearly 2,500 km from Ukraine’s state border.

The Omsk Oil Refinery is the last of Russia’s 11 largest gasoline producers to have been attacked by Ukrainian drones.
