Omsk remained under a drone threat alert for more than seven hours on 11 November amid what Ukrainian forces described as a large, prolonged attack.

The alert began at 12.40pm Moscow time and was still in effect at 8.10pm. Local Telegram channels, citing eyewitnesses, reported a fire at the Omsk oil refinery and possible damage to a power plant, but the targets and consequences were unconfirmed.
