Summary

Overnight on November 2, drones struck the Samara linear production and dispatch station (LVDS) in Prosvet, Samara Oblast, a major Transneft oil pumping and storage hub. Reports describe a fire and a column of smoke rising above the site, and local residents said they heard explosions and saw smoke. Reports attribute the drones to Ukraine; the sources differ on that attribution and Ukraine has not commented. Accounts differ on the damage: one says four RVS-50000 reservoirs were destroyed, while others say the extent is not yet known. Reports say the station has been attacked several times in recent weeks. Russia's Defense Ministry said it shot down 212 Ukrainian drones across several regions.
