On November 11, Special Operations Forces (SOF) attacked the Omsk oil refinery — the largest in Russia — for the third time.

This was reported by the press service of SOF.

Omsk Refinery is owned by “Gazprom Neft” and processes over 21 million tons of oil per year. The plant produces gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, as well as petrochemical products.
