Mark Krutov notes that current satellite images of the Samara oil pumping station show only a huge "volcano" of smoke, obscuring the extent of the damage. As of October 11, after the last Ukrainian attack, 11 tanks were destroyed at the station, 11 were damaged and another 51 remained intact. The Samara station has a particularly large tank farm, which allows it to serve several oil pipelines at once and mix oil to Ural export grade.
