A bright flash fills surveillance footage that The Sun identifies as a Ukrainian drone strike on the Omsk refinery. The newspaper describes an attack lasting eight hours in the title of its new compilation, which moves from oil facilities to battlefield drone operations.

Omsk, in Siberia, is home to one of Russia's largest refineries. The footage shows an explosion, but does not establish the extent of damage to the plant or any interruption to production.

The report then returns to Ust-Luga, the oil-export port featured in the channel's previous coverage, with road footage showing flames and a thick plume of black smoke. The Sun identifies this as the aftermath of an overnight Ukrainian drone attack. Ust-Luga lies on the Gulf of Finland, near Russia's border with Estonia.

Later sequences focus on different uses of drones. The Sun presents cockpit footage as Ukrainian pilots intercepting a Shahed, followed by a nighttime operation in which a drone carries an explosive ground robot across the Dnipro towards a Russian UAV position.

The compilation uses captions rather than a spoken report. Its closing section shows thermal tracking footage that The Sun identifies as Ukrainian air-defence units intercepting Russian missile-drones near Kyiv.
