00:00Ukraine says it has carried out its longest-range strike of the war,
00:03hitting the Omsk oil refinery nearly 3,000 kilometers inside Russia.
00:08The refinery is one of Russia's biggest fuel producers,
00:12processing more than 21 million tons of oil every year.
00:15Ukrainian officials say the strike hit the refinery's main crude oil processing unit,
00:20the key system that keeps the entire plant running.
00:24Ukraine's military says a direct hit sparked a fire
00:26and could disrupt production of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel.
00:31Russian officials confirmed drones reached the Omsk region,
00:34but said air defenses intercepted some of them
00:37while emergency crews responded to the attack.
00:40Videos shared online appear to show a large fire at the refinery,
00:44although the full extent of the damage has not been independently verified.
00:49Ukrainian sources say the operation used a new generation of long-range drones,
00:54making it the deepest strike of the full-scale war.
00:57The claims from both sides have not been independently verified,
01:01and officials are still assessing the impact of the attack.
