UAThe Omsk Oil Refinery, Russia's largest oil processing plant, temporarily halted operations after being attacked by Ukrainian drones on July 6, according to reports from Reuters citing two sources. The attack targeted the facility located deep in Siberia, which is one of the most powerful oil refining enterprises in Russia, capable of processing over 21 million tons of crude oil annually. The strike damaged critical equipment, including the CDU-10 unit responsible for approximately 38% of the refinery’s production capacity. Additionally, another unit, CDU-11, was shut down due to damage to essential connections, though the unit itself remained intact. The refinery produces significant quantities of gasoline, diesel fuel, and aviation kerosene, making the disruption likely to exacerbate fuel shortages across the country. Officials confirmed that no personnel were injured during the attack.
