On November 13, Ukrainian long-range drones targeted the Samara production and dispatch station in Russia's Samara region, according to the SBU press service. The SBU's Telegram channel reported that oil storage tanks at the station had been destroyed, which is considered one of the critical hubs in Russia's oil transportation system.
Crude oil arrives at the station from Tatarstan, Western Siberia, and other Russian oil-producing regions, where it is blended to create the Urals export grade, accounting for up to 50% of Russia's total oil exports. The Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed the strike on the Samara oil terminal and announced that a hangar at Lipetsk-2 airfield in Lipetsk region had also been hit.
The airfield hosts Russian military aviation, and the strike destroyed a hangar storing maintenance equipment, an aviation fuel tank, and the airfield's central command and control center.
