Ukrainian Drone Strikes Russian Oil Refinery 2,700km Away

Ukraine has demonstrated its long-range strike capabilities by hitting an oil refinery deep inside Russian territory, more than 2,000 kilometers from the border.
According to reports from Reuters and other sources on July 6 (local time), the Ukrainian military announced that it had struck the Omsk Oil Refinery, one of Russia's largest, with a drone earlier that day.
Russian regional authorities also confirmed the attack on the Omsk facility.
The refinery is an energy facility located in the rear, approximately 2,700 kilometers away from Ukraine.
Reuters assessed that "this attack is one of the longest-range strikes by Ukraine since the outbreak of the war."
The facility is owned by the Russian oil giant Gazprom Neft.
It is known to have a crude oil processing capacity of approximately 460,000 barrels per day.
Overnight, oil facilities in Russia's Yaroslavl and Leningrad regions were also targeted by the Ukrainian military.
An oil product transshipment terminal in Crimea, an oil loading terminal in Vysotsk, and an oil facility in the Kaluga region were also hit by Ukrainian drone attacks.
In the Sea of Azov, two vessels belonging to Russia's shadow fleet were struck by Ukrainian drones.
According to the Ukrainian military, these ships were transporting approximately 7,000 tons of fuel from the Russian port of Taganrog to Crimea.
As Ukraine continues its series of attacks on energy facilities, Russia has responded with strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, intensifying the conflict between the two sides.
According to Ukrainian authorities, at least 20 civilians were killed in Kyiv following a Russian attack that involved 68 missiles and 351 attack drones overnight.
This comes just five days after a large-scale attack on the night of July 1, which resulted in 31 deaths in Kyiv.
