(2 hours ago)Ukrainian Drons hit the Russian refinery of Omsk, the largest and most deeply placed in Siberia, in what would be one of the longest Ukrainian long-range action attacks since the beginning of the war, Kiev's army said.
In a statement, Ukraine's General Staff said the attack had caused a fire at the Omsk refinery, located about 2,700km from Ukraine-controlled territory and near Russia's border with Kazakhstan.
In a post in Telegram, the governor of the Omsk region, Vitaly Khotsenko, did not specify a target, but said some Ukrainian fears had reached “the northern industrial centre of Omsk”, where the refinery is located.
He said the full impact of the attack was being assessed and emergency services were dealing with the consequences.
Ukraine has escalated attacks against Russian oil refinerys, causing acute fuel shortages in the country's 11 time zones.
In addition to Omsk, Ukraine's military at night hit Russia's Ust-Lug ports and Vysotsk, which deal with oil exports to the Baltic Sea, as well as targets in the Kalugla and Yaroslavl regions, local governors said.
We remember that in the last massive night attack carried out by Russia in Ukraine, 20 people were killed. Periscope.
