Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, governor of the Samara Region, said in a post on VKontakte that the injured were receiving medical treatment. He did not specify how many people were hurt, nor which facility was hit.
A Ukrainian monitoring channel, Exilenova+, reported that the target was the Samara linear production and dispatch station (LPDS) in the settlement of Prosvet. After the governor's statement, the channel's authors suggested the attack had struck that site.
The Samara LPDS is a major piece of oil infrastructure, storing and pumping crude from Tatarstan, western Siberia and other oil-producing regions of Russia. Its grounds hold one of Europe's largest tank farms: 71 tanks with a combined storage capacity of more than 1.6 million cubic metres of oil.
According to The Insider, the station has been struck five times since the start of October, including the latest incident. In the early hours of 2 November, a fire at the site was corroborated by NASA FIRMS thermal anomaly maps. Meduza, citing Astra, reported that the facility was attacked at least four times in October.
Satellite imagery has not yet confirmed signs of a fire at the Samara LPDS, The Insider writes.
