Ukrainian forces struck an oil facility in Russia's Samara Oblast and the Lipetsk-2 military airfield in Lipetsk Oblast, Ukraine's General Staff said on November 14, 2026.
The General Staff reported a fire at the Samara linear production control station near the village of Prosvet in Samara Oblast, some 950 kilometers east of Ukraine-controlled territory, with several oil storage tanks on fire. The station is one of the most important hubs in Russia's energy export system, receiving oil through pipelines from Tatarstan, western Siberia, and other Russian regions, where the oil is blended to produce Urals, which accounts for up to half of Russia's oil exports, according to the General Staff.
The facility has been a repeated target during Ukraine's campaign of deep strike attacks against Russian oil infrastructure.
The General Staff also confirmed a strike on the Lipetsk-2 airfield in Lipetsk Oblast, located over 340 kilometers east of the Ukrainian border. On November 13, a hangar storing special equipment for aircraft maintenance, an aviation fuel tank and the airfield's central command and control post were hit, according to the General Staff.
Lipetsk-2 has been targeted repeatedly. In December 2025, pro-Ukrainian partisans set fire to two Russian Su-30 fighter jets at an airfield near Lipetsk, according to Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR). The base is known to host Russian Su-34, Su-35 and MiG-31 aircraft.
