Images from Friday, October 30, 2026 (October 30) were released on social media, showing the plumes of black smoke rising from the Russian refinery in Novosibirsk following the reported ground attacks by Ukrainian drones in the Samara region.
The governor of the Samara region wrote on Max's messengers that two men died while cleaning up and dealing with the consequences of the ground attack following the Ukrainian drone attack on the Samara region in Russia.
Alexander Novak, Russia's deputy prime minister, said that after a pause, Ukraine resumed its attacks on Russian refineries with a nighttime ground attack on facilities located in the Samara region. He added that in this ground attack, three refineries and a gas and petrochemical complex were attacked in the area, and one of them suffered minor damage.
Yuri Ushkov, a Kremlin foreign affairs adviser, said the new attacks on Russian refineries show that Ukraine has ignored Donald Trump's request to stop such attacks.
