On the night of October 13, unmanned aerial vehicles belonging to the Special Operations Center A of Ukraine's Security Service and the Armed Forces' Special Operations Forces struck several targets in the temporarily occupied Crimea that are involved in the war against Ukraine, according to RBC-Ukraine sources.

Among the targets struck were:

  • The Feodosia sea oil terminal - drones hit at least five tanks, and a large-scale fire was reported on the terminal's territory.
  • The 220 kV Kafa substation (Feodosia), which is part of the Russia-Crimea energy bridge. Power transformers, a closed distribution unit, a control room, and a room with protective automation were damaged, and voltage fluctuations began.
  • The 330 kV Simferopol substation, where a series of explosions occurred.

“The SBU continues to systematically reduce the enemy's military, logistical, and economic capabilities to wage war against Ukraine. Our technical capabilities allow us to hit both in the temporarily occupied territories and deep in the rear of the Russian Federation. This work will continue,” said an informed source in the SBU.

Attack on the terminal in Feodosia

Last week, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the facilities of the Marine Oil Terminal in the temporarily occupied Feodosia. After the attack, the oil transfer complex had been burning for the second day in a row.

And just last night, the Russians reported about a new drone attack in Crimea as residents reported power outages in Simferopol and Feodosia.
