In temporarily occupied Crimea, an increase in the flow of military fuel trucks to and from the Russian Black Sea Fleet's fuel depot in Inkerman has been observed. Fuel is also being delivered by rail, according to the Telegram channel Krymskiy Veter.

"'Our eyes' see everything: an increase in the flow of military fuel trucks to/from the Russian Black Sea Fleet's fuel depot in Inkerman has been noted," the report states.

It is likely that after the attack on the fuel depot in Feodosia, Russia changed the supply route for fuel to its military units on the peninsula.

Currently, there are 3-4 times more fuel trucks in Inkerman and on the roads leading to it than there were before the explosions in Feodosia. Additionally, fuel deliveries by rail have been recorded in wagons from the company Ural Logistics.

Strike on the fuel depot in Feodosia

In early October, Ukrainian forces attacked an oil terminal in occupied Feodosia (Crimea). According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this fuel depot was the largest terminal in Crimea in terms of the volume of oil products handled for the Russian army.

The fire at the fuel depot lasted for almost a week, and the occupation authorities in Crimea even announced an evacuation.

Tanks were exploding at the fuel depot for several days.
