The Kuibyshev refinery, located in the Samara Oblast of the aggressor country of russia, has suspended oil processing due to an attack by Ukrainian drones. Reuters reported this with reference to its own sources.
Two unnamed sources told the agency that drone strikes had shut down both primary oil distillation units - CDU-4 and CDU-5. The capacity of both is about 10,000 tons (145,000 barrels) per day.
The Kuibyshev refinery is owned by the russian oil company Rosneft. The planned processing capacity is 7 million tons of crude oil per year, which is about 1.34% of the total volume of oil processing in russia.
The Kuibyshev refinery is part of the so-called Samara oil hub, which also includes the Novokuibyshev and Syzran refineries.
Reuters writes that industry sources indicate that in 2024 the refinery processed 4.7 million tons of oil, producing 1.4 million tons of diesel fuel, 1.3 million tons of fuel oil and 800,000 tons of gasoline.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on the night of today, June 10, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck a number of facilities in russia, including an oil refinery in Samara.
As a reminder, on the night of May 28-29, Ukrainian drones struck the Volgograd refinery, located in the Volgograd Oblast of the russian federation. Later it became known that the enterprise suspended work after the drone attack.
