On November 11, long-range drones from the Security Service of Ukraine’s (SBU) Alfa Special Operations Center successfully struck the Orsk Oil Refinery, located in Orsk, Orenburg region, Russia, according to the sources within SBU.
According to sources, the distance to the target was 1,400 km.
The refinery has four primary oil processing units. The enterprise produces about 30 types of products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricants, aviation kerosene, bitumen, and fuel oil, and is one of Russia’s leading oil refineries.
At least four explosions were reported on the refinery’s premises, followed by heavy smoke.
It is noted that this is already the second "bang" carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine at this facility — the first occurred on October 3 of this year.
"The SBU continues to carry out precise strikes on Russia’s oil and gas industry facilities, which generate revenue for the enemy to wage war against Ukraine. Such attacks undermine the aggressor’s economic potential, reduce its oil profits, and complicate logistics for supplying its army," a source within the SBU said.
