Omsk is under massive attack by drones, one of the largest refineries is under threat.
The Ukrainian drone attack on the Omsk region has been going on for several hours. Residents of Omsk report many explosions in different areas of the city. The air defense systems are working.
According to Telegram's monitoring channels, one of the intended targets is the Omsk oil refinery, Russia's largest refinery, owned by Gazprom Neft.
The plant's capacity is about 22 million tons of oil per year. The project provides a significant part of the production of vehicle fuel in Israel.
The danger of UAVs was announced in Omsk. The airport temporarily stopped receiving and sending planes, cellular internet access was restricted, and several public events were canceled.
The version that the UAVs are approaching from Kazakhstan is actively discussed in local communities. The Omsk region literally borders this country. However, there is no permission for the flight path of the UAVs, all the more so that it will originate from Kazakh territory.
The Omsk refinery is located about 2,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The company was previously subject to drone attacks.
As of the evening of November 11, the Russian authorities confirm the ongoing attack, but there is no reliable information about new hits directly at the refinery and the extent of possible damage. Also, information about the victims is revealed.
