Ukrainian drones successfully hit an oil terminal in the port of Kerch in occupied Crimea overnight on June 21, according to the press service of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces.
The oil facility plays a key role in the fuel logistics system.
The terminal ensures the receiving, storage, and transshipment of oil products between rail transport, storage tanks, and tankers.
It also supports vessel refueling and the operation of the ferry crossing between Russia and temporarily occupied Crimea.
Following the successful strike, multiple fires and ignitions were recorded at the port terminal.
Strikes on Crimea
As a reminder, on the night of June 21, Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out strikes on several key targets near the Crimean Bridge and in occupied Crimea.
The attacks targeted military logistics sites, oil infrastructure, and Russian air defense assets at a distance of about 300 km from the front line.
Damage was reported on both sides of the Crimean Bridge: maritime fuel logistics facilities in the Krasnodar region and an oil depot in occupied Kerch.
Military logistics facilities, four radar stations belonging to S-400 air defense systems, and two Pantsir systems were also successfully hit.
