On the afternoon of October 8, the Omsk region was attacked by Ukrainian drones, the head of the region, Vitaly Khotsenko, said. "All operational services have been put on high alert. Please keep calm and trust only verified information," the governor wrote on Telegram.

At the same time, residents of Omsk reported a series of explosions near the oil refinery. "Smoke is coming out of the chimneys there. Two explosions were heard," one of the residents told Astra newspaper. The Ukrainian Exilenova+ monitoring channel also writes about the attack on the enterprise. The Omsk NPP, which is located about 2.5 thousand km from the border with Ukraine, is the largest in Russia. It belongs to "Gazprom Neft" company and is able to process up to 22 million tons of oil per year. As stated on the company's website, the enterprise produces "every sixth liter of Russian gasoline and diesel fuel of the fifth environmental class." Ukrainian drones hit the factory for the first time on July 6 of this year. As a result of the attack, the primary oil processing facilities were damaged, due to which the enterprise temporarily stopped work. This is the second NGA that Ukrainian drones hit in one day.
