At Ilsky Oil Refinery, Drones Damaged Processing Units; at the Samara Oil Pipeline, Tanks Were Damaged

Satellite images of the Ilsky Oil Refinery in the Krasnodar Krai following the attack indicate that all of the facility’s primary refining facilities were damaged.

Analysts at the Dnipro Osint group released the images.

On September 26, FP-1 drones attacked the Ilsky Oil Refinery in the Krasnodar Region. The facility has a capacity of over 6.6 million metric tons of crude oil per year.

Satellite images show at least six strikes on equipment at the AVT-5 and AVT-6 units, which handle most of the refinery’s primary oil processing.

Another, less powerful unit—AVT-3—suffered extensive damage and was almost completely destroyed by fire.

In addition, two strikes on technical trestles were recorded in the facility’s northern part. The effects of an oil spill in the tank farm area are also visible.

Samara Linear Production and Dispatch Station

Separately, the consequences of the attack on the Samara Linear Production and Dispatch Station (LPD) were documented on October 2, 2026.

Analysts from the Absolutely Reliable group released the images.

At the Samara-1 pumping station site, vertical steel tanks (VSTs) with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters were damaged.

One tank is on fire and is believed to have been destroyed; two others sustained significant damage; and two more sustained surface damage or show signs of fire damage to their walls.

The Samara-2 pumping station area contains storage tanks with a total capacity of 50,000 cubic meters. One of them sustained significant damage, while two others sustained surface damage.

At the oil blending site, tanks with a total capacity of 20,000 cubic meters were damaged. One sustained significant damage, two had their roofs destroyed, and two more sustained surface damage. A pipeline was also damaged.

In total, four to five RVS-20,000 tanks and one RVS-50,000 tank sustained significant damage.

Thus, the strikes on the Ilsky Oil Refinery and the Samara Oil Pipeline caused damage to key oil infrastructure facilities, including primary processing units, the tank farm, and pipeline equipment.
