Last night, a successful strike was carried out on the enemy's marine oil terminal in temporarily occupied Feodosia, Crimea. A fire broke out in the area of the facility, and the extent of the damage is still being assessed, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Feodosia terminal is the largest in Crimea by the volume of oil products transshipped, which have been used to supply the needs of the Russian occupying army.

The strike was executed by missile forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in cooperation with other components of Ukraine’s defense forces.

"Measures to undermine the military-economic potential of the Russian Federation are ongoing," the report states.

The so-called mayor of Feodosia, Igor Tkachenko, said that a municipal state of emergency is being introduced in the city due to the fire at the oil depot.

Attack on oil depot

In the early hours of October 7, a fire broke out at an oil depot in Feodosia. According to preliminary information, the facility was attacked by drones.

The Marine Oil Terminal is currently ablaze, a site that has been targeted before. In March 2024, four drones fell on the oil depot, causing damage to the main pipeline and sparking a fire. At that time, workers were evacuated, and it took an hour and a half to extinguish the blaze.
