During the night of October 10, 2026, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Samara linear production and dispatch station (LPDS) again, near the settlement of Prosvet in Russia’s Samara Region. The extent of the damage is being уточнено
The Samara LPDS is a major oil receiving, storage, and blending hub. Crude oil arrives via trunk pipelines from Tatarstan, Western Siberia, and other oil-producing regions of Russia. At the station, oil with varying sulfur content is blended to produce the Urals export grade. The facility is involved in supplying the needs of the Russian armed forces.

Striking such facilities constitutes Ukraine’s exercise of its inherent right to self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter and is aimed at reducing the military and economic potential of the Russian Federation.
