Ukraine strikes oil depot in occupied Crimea
Ukraine’s military has launched a missile strike on the Feodosia oil terminal, the largest oil processing facility in Crimea, in the latest wave of attacks targeting Russian-controlled energy infrastructure. Ukrainian officials confirmed the strike, saying the terminal supplies fuel to Russian occupation forces.
While Russian-installed officials in Crimea did not confirm the attack, they acknowledged a fire at the facility, prompting the evacuation of 300 people. Videos circulating online showed smoke rising from the terminal, and firefighting efforts are underway.
Meanwhile, Russia’s defence ministry reported that it shot down 12 out of 21 Ukrainian drones targeting Crimea overnight. Ukraine’s general staff said these attacks are a justified response to Russia’s assaults on Ukraine’s energy grid, which have caused widespread blackouts and destruction of vital power infrastructure.
This is not the first time Feodosia has been targeted—Ukraine carried out a drone strike on the terminal in March. Kyiv has been intensifying its attacks on Crimea as part of its broader counteroffensive efforts.
