Early Monday morning, November 2, the Samara region was subjected to a drone attack. According to monitoring and OSINT channels cited by RBC-Ukraine, the likely target of the strike was the Samara Linear Production and Dispatch Station (LPSP) in the settlement of Prosvet. Following the attack, a fire broke out in the area of the facility, and Emergencies Ministry forces were dispatched to the scene. Official data on casualties and the scale of damage were not provided by the station in the materials presented. ### Chronology of the Night Attack According to Russian monitoring channels, at approximately 03:00, a drone attack threat was recorded in the Samara region. Simultaneously, in Samara itself, workers from various warehouse facilities were reportedly evacuated for safety reasons. Around 05:00 in the morning, several OSINT channels began publishing footage from the settlement of Prosvet: according to their data, drones struck the Samara LPSP, after which a fire started in the facility's area. Published images show Russian Emergencies Ministry personnel in protective gear working near a service vehicle against the background of a smoke-filled territory. ### What is the Samara LPSP The Samara station is a vital hub for receiving, storing, and further transporting oil, featuring one of the largest tank farms in Europe. This is why a strike on the facility is significant not only for the regional logistics chain but for a broader oil transshipment network. The provided sources do not specify whether the fire directly affected the storage tanks or auxiliary structures, or whether there is a threat of spills. ### Third Strike and General Context According to OSINT channels, the November 2 attack is already the third in recent times targeting facilities in this area. Strikes across Russian territory in recent days have taken on a serial character: on the night of October 29, drones reportedly massively attacked the Moscow region and other regions, leading to the temporary paralysis of airports; drone attacks with infrastructure damage and casualties were also recorded in the Belgorod and Bryansk regions; on October 28, a commercial container ship was attacked in Bulgarian Black Sea waters. Thus, the incident in Prosvet fits into a broader picture of strikes on infrastructure and transport hubs. ### Reaction and Consequences Immediately after the attack, a fire broke out in the area of the Samara LPSP, which was tackled by fire and rescue units. The provided materials lack official statements from Russian authorities regarding the nature of the attack, the number of casualties, and the extent of the damage, so details remain at the level of reports from OSINT and Telegram channels.
