Drone strike ignites Russia's key refinery and hits data center in a war first.
Context
What happened: Ukrainian long-range drones struck Gazprom Neft's Omsk refinery in Western Siberia, and Yandex reported its data center in Sasovo, Ryazan region, was attacked and caught fire.
Key numbers: Omsk refinery processes about 22 million tonnes annually, roughly 440,000 barrels per day, about 1/15th of Russia's refining capacity.
Why it matters: The Omsk strike hit Russia's largest refinery, which previously halted operations after a July drone attack. The Yandex data center strike is described as the first confirmed attack on Russian data infrastructure since the 2022 invasion.
