On the night of April 23, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck an oil refinery in Samara, Russia, and attacked the “Gorky” oil pumping station.
According to Ukrinform, Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, reported this on Telegram.
“The Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the oil refinery in Samara. The Gorky oil pumping station in the Nizhny Novgorod region was also attacked,” the message reads.
According to Kovalenko, oil from Western Siberia and Tatarstan passes through the pumping station.
As reported by Ukrinform, a NASA Worldview satellite image taken on April 21 shows that, following an attack by Ukrainian drones, smoke from burning oil tanks in Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai, Russia, spread over 300 kilometers and reached Stavropol.
