The strike in the Omsk Region came as Kiev launched another large\u2011scale overnight UAV raid across the country<\/strong><\/p>\n Ukrainian drones have targeted one of Russia\u2019s largest fuel\u2011processing plants, as Kiev carried out another large\u2011scale overnight UAV raid inside the country. \u00a0<\/p>\n The attack on the Omsk Oil Refinery in Omsk Region is the first in central Russia since the start of the Ukraine conflict. Governor Vitaly Khotsenko wrote on Telegram on Monday that the facility was hit after several drones reached the city\u2019s northern industrial zone. \u00a0<\/p>\n Khotsenko said most of the incoming UAVs were destroyed by air defenses and that, according to preliminary information, there were no deaths or injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n Russian media reported air\u2011raid sirens sounded in Omsk\u2019s Central and Oktyabrsky districts and that the threat from drones prompted a temporary suspension of arrivals and departures at Omsk airport, while flights over the region were halted. \u00a0<\/p>\n The Omsk Oil Refinery, operated by Gazprom Neft, specializes in the production of gasoline, diesel, aviation kerosene and road\u2011building bitumen. With an installed capacity of 20.5 million tons of crude per year, it accounts for around one in every six liters of Euro\u20115 gasoline and diesel fuel produced in Russia, as well as a significant share of the country\u2019s aviation fuel.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday that more than 600 Ukrainian drones were destroyed or suppressed across more than 20 regions in the latest mass raid and that the primary targets were energy facilities. \u00a0<\/p>\n The ministry added that Vladimir Zelensky ordered the attacks on the eve of the NATO summit in Ankara \u201cto demonstrate to his European sponsors, including the UK, his willingness to strike civilian targets in Russia from Ukraine at their expense.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
