Ukrainian monitoring Telegram channels reported the first drone attack on the Omsk oil refinery.
Omsk region governor Vitaly Khotsenko first announced a “drone threat” during the day on July 6 and then said “enemy UAVs” had been shot down over the region.
According to him, several drones “managed to reach Omsk’s northern industrial hub.”
Independent monitoring projects have so far neither confirmed nor denied information about a strike on the Omsk refinery.
