Russia says Ukrainian drone attack kills one in its Samara region
Local officials said air defenses shot down dozens of drones as fires broke out at the refinery and nearby homes and cars were damaged.
- Ukrainian forces struck the Kuibyshev oil refinery in Samara, Russia, in an overnight drone attack on Sept. 22, targeting a facility capable of producing up to 10,000 metric tons of oil per day.
- ASTRA appeared to confirm the strike, while eyewitness footage from Exilenova and Supernova shows a giant fireball illuminating the sky at the moment of impact.
- Half of Russia's six largest diesel-producing refineries have cut or halted output in Sept following Ukrainian drone attacks, as the facility processes around 3.7 million tons of oil annually for the Russian military-industrial sector.
- President Donald Trump has urged Ukraine to stop targeting oil refineries, claiming these attacks contribute to global diesel shortages. On Sept. 13, Trump said, "Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel."
- The Kuibyshev refinery serves Russia's military-industrial sector and armed forces, making it a key strategic target; ongoing Ukrainian drone campaigns against energy infrastructure have disrupted fuel supplies worldwide.
