20 June 16:08
Ukrainian drones attacked the Tyumen oil refinery on Saturday, June 20, according to Alexander Moor, governor of the Tyumen region. He said the attack was repelled, the refinery was not damaged, and employees were evacuated. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian", citing Russian propaganda media.
“Emergency response specialists are working at the site where the debris fell,” Governor Moor said.
However, residents of the Antipino neighborhood, where the refinery is located, are reporting on social media that there were at least two explosions and thick smoke rising above the facility. ASTRA analyzed eyewitness video filmed near the “Antipino Neighborhood” bus stop and confirmed that thick smoke is rising above the plant. Local residents also saw at least ten fire trucks heading toward the plant. The distance from Ukraine to Tyumen is about two thousand kilometers.
A no-fly zone was declared in the region; Tyumen Airport temporarily suspended the arrival and departure of flights, and several flights were delayed.
The Tyumen Oil Refinery (formerly the Antipinsky Oil Refinery) is one of Russia’s largest independent oil refineries, with a capacity of about 8 million metric tons of crude oil per year and a refining depth of up to 98%. The plant produces Euro-5 diesel fuel, gasoline, petroleum coke, bitumen, and fuel oil. In May 2021, following its bankruptcy, the plant was acquired at auction by Ri-Invest LLC (controlled by businessman Anatoly Yablonsky) and renamed TNPP. The plant was last attacked in October 2025.
