Ukrainian drones attacked an oil depot near Lenine and a marine oil terminal in Feodosia. Both facilities are of key importance for Russia’s logistics, according to the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On the night of June 7, units of the Middle-strike Special Operations Forces carried out strikes on two fuel infrastructure facilities in temporarily occupied Crimea — the Semykolodezianska oil depot and the marine oil terminal in Feodosia.
According to the SOF, the Semykolodezianska oil depot is located in the village of Yedy-Kuiu, which Russian troops call Lenine. The facility is located approximately 200 kilometers from the line of combat engagement and is used by Russian forces as a transshipment point for storing and transporting fuel oil, diesel fuel, bitumen, and other petroleum products.
There are nine storage tanks on the territory of the oil depot, with a capacity ranging from 700 to 3,000 cubic meters. From here, fuel is delivered by rail tank cars across Crimea and to other temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine for the needs of the Russian army.
Ukrainian drones also struck the marine oil terminal in Feodosia, located approximately 250 kilometers from the line of the front. The facility contains seven fuel storage tanks with capacities of 10,000 and 20,000 cubic meters.
According to the SOF, the terminal is a multifunctional complex for the transshipment of oil and petroleum products from rail tank cars to sea vessels. Russian forces use it to build up fuel reserves and to supply occupied Crimea in case of emergencies.

“Strikes on the enemy’s oil refining infrastructure reduce its economic and logistical capabilities. The SOF continue asymmetric actions to strategically weaken the enemy’s ability to wage war against Ukraine,” the military summarized.
Earlier, the Special Operations Forces reported establishing fire control over the Melitopol–Chonhar route, which Russian forces use to supply equipment and fuel to Crimea.
According to the SOF, strikes on logistics hubs in this direction have already significantly complicated the supply of the Russian group in the south.
