On the night of April 21, drones operated by the SBU’s Alpha Special Operations Center struck the Samara linear production dispatch station in Russia.
The attack triggered a large-scale fire, according to RBC-Ukraine's source in the SBU.
The station, located in the settlement of Prosvet in Russia’s Samara region, blends high- and low-sulfur oil from different fields to produce the export-grade Urals crude. The facility is a key part of the Russia’s oil transportation infrastructure.
According to preliminary data, SBU drones damaged five storage tanks, each with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters, filled with crude oil.
“Strikes on such critical hub stations directly reduce Russia’s ability to form export oil batches and fulfill contractual obligations. This disrupts the balance of raw materials, increases logistics and storage costs, and creates risks of supply disruptions,” the source said.
