The refinery is located nearly 2,500 km from Ukraine's border. It is the furthest oil refinery inside Russia to have been struck by Ukrainian drones.

The SOF first struck the Omsk Oil Refinery on 6 July. Following that attack, the refinery completely halted oil processing and was taken offline for repairs. It was struck for the second time on 8 October.

Quote: "The SOF will return to Russia the war it started, no matter how far the enemy tries to hide its facilities."
