Ukraine attacks Russia’s largest oil refinery.

The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) announced on Monday (6) that they had carried out an attack against the Omsk Oil Refinery, considered the largest in Russia. According to a statement released by the SSO on Telegram, the refinery, located about 3,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, has the capacity to process more than 21 million tons of oil per year. "The Special Forces attacked the largest and most 'inaccessible' Russian refinery in Omsk. It is 3,000 kilometers away. This is the first attack on this facility," the SSO stated. The military force also classified the offensive as "the deepest long-range attack into enemy territory since the beginning of the large-scale invasion." According to the Ukrainian military, the refinery plays a strategic role in supplying the Russian domestic market with gasoline and diesel, as well as being one of the country's main producers of aviation fuel. In recent weeks, Ukraine has intensified attacks against Russian refineries, fuel depots, and other energy infrastructure. The offensive has caused supply difficulties in some regions of Russia, leading the country to increase fuel imports to meet some of the domestic demand.
