Local residents reported that the local refinery was hit, and a fire broke out there.
According to Exilenova+, this is about the Novokuibyshevsk Refinery.
Novokuibyshevsk Refinery is located in the town of Novokuibyshevsk, Samara Oblast. It is owned by the Russian oil company Rosneft.
The processing capacity is about 8.8 million tons of oil per year.
Zakod produces a wide range of fuels and lubricants, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and fuel oil.
The enterprise has repeatedly been hit by drones during attacks by the Defense Forces on Russian oil refining infrastructure.
Attack on OZON in Chapayevsk
In addition, the logistics center of the Russian marketplace OZON was attacked in Chapayevsk, Samara Region. A massive fire broke out there.
Over time, the fire at the facility only grew worse.
According to the Falcon Insight Telegram channel, the area of the affected warehouse is at least 75 thousand square meters.
The channel’s authors also added that near this warehouse are located “Chapaevsky Mechanical Plant”, which produces industrial explosives and explosives (detonator caps, pyrotechnic relays, detonating cords, etc.) and “Promsintez” . Both enterprises historically constitute the only large military-industrial complex for the production of explosives.
The video captured the moment of one of the strikes on the logistics center, and footage from the facility’s territory also appeared.
Attack on Saratov
Exilenova+ reported that Saratov was attacked by Ukrainian UAVs after 2 a.m.
According to preliminary data, it could also have flown there via the refinery.
As OBOZ.UA reported, the day before, Ukraine struck the Perm oil refinery and the Marynivka military airfield.
The Defense Forces also again struck the Akhtubinsk airfield in the Russian Federation: a Su-34E bomber was damaged there.
Isn’t it nice how Ukraine keeps mafia land burning?
Not so nice how the scum bags attack our malls during the day. I know we’re being good guys but we need to give strike for strike including the home of the scum bags…Kremlin.
Ukraine has had to be perfect since March of 2014 while the ruzzki horde commits war crimes every day. Now that the Ozon logistics are added to the strike lists it is going to hit the Moskali hard.
I agree with you. I think Ukraine would do it if they could. Either they are too worried about how the pussies in the West would react or they don’t have enough munitions, and so must use what they have on important targets. It’s got to be one or the other or maybe even both.
