Russia’s Omsk refinery burns: 10% of national refining capacity at risk

At least two primary processing units at Russia’s Omsk refinery caught fire while pipes were still under full pressure, according to monitoring channels that analyzed video footage. The blaze threatens a facility that processes roughly 10% of Russia’s total crude oil and supplies half of Siberia’s fuel. The incident removes a 2,500-kilometer buffer that previously protected the plant from direct attack.
