Summary
Ukraine said its long-range drones struck the Omsk Oil Refinery on July 6, igniting fires at Russia’s largest refinery in the first known attack on the site.
The military said the drones hit Omsk’s ELOU-AVT-11 primary crude unit, which can process 8.4 million tonnes a year, after flying about 3,000 km.
Gazprom Neft’s Omsk plant processes more than 22 million tonnes annually—about 10% of Russia’s refining capacity—and supplies over half of Siberia’s motor fuel demand.
Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces called Omsk the last of Russia’s 11 biggest gasoline-producing refineries to be successfully targeted, while local officials confirmed drones reached Omsk’s industrial district.
The strike came in a wider July 6 wave that also reportedly hit Yaroslavl and fuel terminals, extending a campaign that the Financial Times said struck Russian refineries at least 194 times in first-half 2026.
