Another tanker ignited at Crimea's Feodosia oil depot, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked last night, according to the Telegram channel Crimean Wind.

The fire reportedly broke out at 9:07 p.m. (Moscow time). Ambulances and fire trucks rushed to the scene.

Earlier reports indicated two tankers were destroyed and three others damaged.

Strike on the Feodosia oil depot

The Joint-Stock Company Marine Oil Terminal is one of the largest in Crimea by oil product transshipment volume. In March 2024, four drones attacked the depot.

In the early hours of Monday, October 7, powerful explosions rocked the temporarily occupied Feodosia. Shortly after, a fire broke out at the terminal, and a state of municipal emergency was declared in the city.

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed the strike on the Feodosia oil terminal.

According to media reports, the Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system might have been stationed at the oil depot.
