## Summary

Omsk, home to Russia’s largest oil refinery, was targeted in a drone attack lasting more than eight hours on 11 November, according to local officials and monitoring channels. The city is about 2,500 kilometres from Ukraine’s eastern border, highlighting the reach of Ukraine’s long-range drones and the vulnerability of infrastructure deep inside Russia.

Residents reported a fire near the refinery and power cuts in some districts, while regional governor Vitaly Khotsenko said emergency crews were sent to sites affected by falling drone debris. The reports and the extent of any damage had not been independently verified, and the specific targets were unclear. The Gazprom-owned refinery can process more than 21 million tonnes of crude oil a year and accounts for one in every six litres of Russian petrol and diesel; it was also struck in July and October 2026.
