Summary and Impact of Ukrainian Drone Attacks on Russian Energy Infrastructure
MOSCOW, July 7 (Reuters) - Ukrainian drones struck Russia's largest oil refinery in Omsk, deep in Siberia, this week, in one of Ukraine's longest-range attacks of the war, Kyiv's military and Russian local authorities said.
The drone attacks are worsening fuel shortages in Russia, where people have reported rising prices and long queues at the filling stations across most regions.
Following is a summary of the attacks — starting with the most recent — and their impact:
Major Oil Refinery Attacks
Omsk Oil Refinery
OMSK
Ukrainian drones struck the Omsk refinery on Monday, causing a fire, though there were no casualties. Russian air defences destroyed most of the drones involved in the attack, Governor Vitaly Khotsenko said. It was not immediately clear how much damage the refinery had sustained.
The design capacity of the Omsk oil refinery is approximately 22 million metric tons of oil per year.
NORSI Oil Refinery
NORSI
Ukrainian drones hit NORSI, Russia's fourth-largest oil refinery, owned by Lukoil, for a second time on July 2 and crude oil processing was suspended, according to sources.
They said the attack had damaged a primary refining unit, CDU-6, which is usually able to process 25,700 metric tons per day, equivalent to some 190,000 barrels, and accounts for 53% of the refinery's overall capacity.
NORSI, which is Russia's second-largest producer of gasoline, can process 16 million metric tons of oil per year, or around 320,000 barrels per day.
Slavyansk Oil Refinery
SLAVYANSK
Ukrainian drones struck Russian targets including Slavyansk oil refinery in the southern Krasnodar region on June 28, local authorities said.
Slavyansk refinery is a private plant with capacity of about 100,000 barrels per day. It supplies fuel for domestic use and export.
Yaroslavl Oil Refinery
YAROSLAVL
Ukrainian forces attacked a Russian oil refinery in Yaroslavl, some 250 km (160 miles) northeast of Moscow, on July 6, Ukraine's military General Staff said on Telegram.
The refinery has processing capacity of 15 million metric tons per year, or around 300,000 barrels per day.
Ufa Oil Refinery
UFA
Ukraine's forces struck for a second time on July 1 an oil refinery in the city of Ufa, near the southern Ural mountains, some 1,150 km (715 miles) east of Moscow. This refinery can process more than 7 million tons of oil per year.

Moscow oil refinery halted operations after a Ukrainian drone attack on June 16, two industry sources said.
On June 18, another attack damaged processing units and sparked multiple fires across the site.
The facility in the capital's southeastern Kapotnya district has an annual capacity of around 11 million tons of oil.
TANECO Oil Refinery

Russian Tatneft's TANECO oil refinery halted operations after a drone attack on June 12.

Kuibyshev Oil Refinery
KUIBYSHEV
Rosneft's Kuibyshev oil refinery halted processing on June 10 after a drone attack.
The Kuibyshev refinery processed 4.7 million tons of crude in 2024, or 94,400 barrels a day, producing 0.8 million tons of gasoline, 1.4 million tons of diesel and 1.3 million tons of fuel oil, according to industry sources.
