There has been an escalation in the conflict with this reported attack on the Syzran oil refinery in Samara, Russia. According to Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, the regional governor, no casualties were reported so far, but the situation is still being monitored, as emergency services are on-site. While the specifics of the damage haven’t been confirmed by the governor, sources like Baza and Mash Telegram channels have indicated that a fire was ignited due to the attack.
Moreover, Russia’s Defence Ministry mentioned that their air defense systems managed to intercept and destroy nine Ukrainian drones in various regions, including Bryansk, Tatarstan, Tula, and the Black Sea. This could indicate an ongoing pattern of Ukrainian drone strikes targeting infrastructure within Russia.
This marks another significant moment in the ongoing conflict.
