An oil depot might be burning in Kstovo, users wrote online.
Gorky oil pumping station, part of the Transneft-Verkhnyaya Volga structure, caught fire in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, according to data from Exilenova+ OSINT analysts. It pumps oil from the previous section of the main line and transfers it further through the pipeline (often within the Druzhba system) toward Belarus, Europe, or to the next hub or refinery.
Explosions also rang out in the Russian city of Samara overnight. An attack on the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery was reported. Russian authorities confirm damage to an "industrial enterprise" and claim a "hit" on the roof of a multi-story building.
Drones attacked an oil depot in Feodosia in the temporarily occupied Crimea overnight, while explosions also rang out in Melitopol and the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhya Oblast.
