## Key points

- Ukraine reported strikes on a major Russian oil hub and military airfield.
- Fires were reported at several oil tanks in Samara.
- The Lipetsk airfield’s hangar, fuel tank and command post were hit.

## Summary

Ukraine’s General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck an oil processing control station in Russia’s Samara region and the Lipetsk-2 military airfield. The attacks matter because the oil site is a major part of Russia’s export network, while the airfield supports military aircraft.

Several oil storage tanks were reported on fire at the station near Prosvet, about 950 kilometres from Ukrainian-controlled territory. The facility blends oil from several Russian regions into Urals crude, which accounts for up to half of Russia’s oil exports. At Lipetsk-2, the military said a maintenance hangar, aviation fuel tank and central command post were hit on 13 November; the base hosts Su-34, Su-35 and MiG-31 aircraft.
