On 6 July, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces conducted a deep strike that hit Russia's largest oil refinery in Omsk, the operation's source said. For the first time the facility was struck by Ukrainian UAVs that reportedly travelled up to 3,000 km, marking the deepest long-range strike on Russian territory since the full-scale invasion began. Critical equipment was damaged, including the ELOU-AVT-11 primary oil refining unit, which supplies feedstock to other units. The Omsk refinery has a design capacity of about 21 million tonnes a year and supplies a significant share of domestic petrol, diesel and aviation fuel, so operations and fuel availability could be affected.
