On the morning of November 13, drones once again attacked the Samara linear production and dispatch station near the settlement of Prosvet in Russia's Samara region, according to Exilenova+.
The Samara oil station is a major hub where oil is received, stored, and blended. Crude oil is delivered there via main pipelines from Tatarstan, Western Siberia, and other oil-producing regions of Russia.
At the station, oil with different sulfur content is blended to produce the Urals export grade. It accounts for up to 50% of Russia's total oil exports.
The facility also supplies the needs of the Russian armed forces.
