Ukraine strikes Russia's largest oil refinery, located 2,500 km from border

Explosions have been heard continuously at the Russian facility for more than two hours. The strikes have sparked a massive fire at the refinery.

The Omsk Oil Refinery is the largest oil processing facility in Russia, with a designed capacity of more than 21 million metric tons of oil per year. It is located 2,500 km from Ukraine, which is why it had long avoided Ukrainian attacks.

CyberBoroshno notes that the attack has lasted several hours for the first time and continues as of now.

Last month, Ukrainian drones also struck Russia's largest oil refinery. The attack sparked a fire at the facility.

Ukraine's long-range strikes have completely shut down 15 of Russia's 38 major oil refineries. Another 12 have significantly reduced their output.
