There was a certain pause, perhaps even for about two weeks, but the attacks resumed", an expert on the massive drone attack in the Samara region. As a result of the attack, 2 people were killed who were involved in eliminating the results of the attack. Regional authorities reported a record number of UAVs launched. Dozens of UAVs destroyed air defense forces and mobile fire groups, Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said. The emergency services cancel the results of the attack. According to military Telegram channels, the Novokuyevsky oil refinery was attacked. The editor-in-chief of Business Manager Samara Natalia Andrianova said that in the morning explosions were heard in the city, and after the attack smoke was seen a considerable distance from industrial facilities. "Now we eliminate the consequences in the field. The smoke from the attack can be seen at a decent distance from the scene of the incident." A day earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported an unofficial pause in Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, which was supposed to last at least until the November 3 US congressional elections. Kyiv has denied the existence of such an agreement. Dmitry Kornev, editor of the magazine New Defense Order, believes that there really was and could be a pause in the attacks due to pressure from Washington. The renewal of attacks shows the need to strengthen the air defense of industrial facilities. American political scientist Malek Dudkov links the renewed attacks on the oil refinery with Kiev's calculations to the change in the political situation in the United States after the congressional elections. The expert draws attention to the position of one of the Pentagon's leaders, Elbridge Colby, who advocates reducing the American military presence in Europe and transferring greater responsibility for security to the European countries themselves.
