"Long-range drone units of the SOF carried out a series of strikes on the Kuibyshevsky oil refinery in Samara overnight into June 10," the report says.
Earlier on this day, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported the hit on the facility.
According to the SOF report, two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region at a distance of 700 kilometers were also hit.
