According to preliminary reports, oil storage tanks were hit and a fire broke out on the site. The facility plays a key role in Russia\u2019s oil transport system, as it is here that crude oil is blended to produce the Urals export grade, which accounts for up to half of Russia\u2019s oil exports. The SBU officially announced the results of the operation on 14 November.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drones operated by the SBU\u2019s \u00abAlpha\u00bb special forces unit attacked the \u00abSamara\u00bb station on 13 November.<\/li>\n<li>It has been provisionally confirmed that the oil storage tanks have been damaged; a fire has broken out at the site.<\/li>\n<li>The company blends raw materials for the Urals export grade of crude oil.<\/li>\n<li>The station has already been hit by Ukrainian drones on several occasions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The SBU has confirmed that the tanks at the \u00abSamara\u00bb station have been hit\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p>The oil terminal is located near the village of Prosvet in the Samara Region of Russia. According to the SBU, on 13 November, long-range drones from the \u00abAlpha\u00bb Special Operations Centre attacked the company\u2019s tank farm.<\/p>\n<p>According to preliminary findings from the operation, damage to oil storage tanks has been confirmed. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has clarified that a fire broke out at the site following the attack, engulfing several tanks.<\/p>\n<p>The exact number of damaged tanks and the volume of oil lost have not yet been reported.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is the \u00abSamara\u00bb station important for Russian oil exports?<\/h2>\n<p>The Samara LVDC is owned by the company \u00ab<a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/drony-atakuvaly-naftovu-stantsiiu-nikolske-michurinsk\/\">Transneft<\/a>\u00bb and is one of the largest centres for the reception, storage and transport of oil in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Raw materials are transported here via main pipelines from Western Siberia, Tatarstan and other oil-producing regions. At the plant, crude oil with varying sulphur content is blended to produce the Urals export grade.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Ukrainian side, on <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/rosiya-import-benzynu-z-indiyi\/\">Urals<\/a> accounts for up to 50 per cent of Russia\u2019s oil exports. This refers to the share of this grade in the country\u2019s total exports, not the volume of oil that passes directly through the \u00abSamara\u00bb terminal.<\/p>\n<p>According to the specialist publication *Military*, the company\u2019s tank farm covers more than 216 hectares. It houses 71 tanks with a total capacity of over 1.6 million cubic metres.<\/p>\n<h2>The oil terminal has already sustained extensive damage<\/h2>\n<p>The \u00abSamara\u00bb station was repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian strikes throughout the autumn of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the General Staff reported that, as a result of the attack on 7 October, the factory had <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/ataka-lvds-samara-2-lystopada-pozhezha\/\">Four tanks were destroyed<\/a> each with a capacity of 50,000 cubic metres. A second incident at the site was recorded on 10 October, and further reports of a fire were received on 2 November.<\/p>\n<p>According to the SBU, strikes on such facilities hamper the preparation, transport and storage of oil for export. Russia\u2019s revenue from oil exports remains one of the sources of funding for the war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences of the latest attack on 13 November are still being assessed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0414\u0430\u043b\u0435\u043a\u043e\u0431\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0456 \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0456\u043b\u043e\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0438
