Summary

On 11 November drones attacked the Omsk oil refinery in Siberia, owned by Gazprom Neft and described as Russia's largest, with reports saying the attack lasted many hours. Governor Vitaliy Khotsenko confirmed a fire at the refinery and announced the end of a drone threat that had lasted over eight hours. Air raid sirens sounded over the city for more than eight hours, and reports describe explosions, a fire in the industrial zone, mobile and internet restrictions, and suspended airport flights. Officials have not publicly detailed which parts of the plant were damaged or whether processing halted. Accounts differ on the number of prior attacks on the refinery. Ukraine had not officially confirmed the attack in the reports, and the Omsk refinery sits more than 2,000 km from the Ukrainian border.
