Ukrainian drones have struck Russia's Omsk Oil Refinery, the country's largest oil processing facility, in one of Kyiv's deepest long-range attacks since the full-scale war began.

According to the report, Ukraine's military confirmed the operation, which targeted a refinery responsible for processing about 23 million metric tons of crude oil each year.

The report said modernized FP-1 unmanned aerial vehicles hit the ELOU-AVT-11 primary crude processing unit, which Ukraine's Special Operations Forces described as the refinery's most critical installation.

Omsk Region Governor Vitaly Khotsenko confirmed that drones reached the industrial site and said emergency services were responding to the incident.

According to the report, the Omsk refinery accounts for roughly 10 percent of Russia's refining capacity and plays a major role in supplying gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel.

The strike also marks the latest step in Ukraine's campaign against Russia's energy infrastructure, which the report said has contributed to fuel supply disruptions across the country.
