On the night of June 7, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck two large oil depots in Crimea, an FSB command post, and other Russian military facilities, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Two large oil depots on the temporarily occupied peninsula came under attack in Crimea.
The first, the Semikolodezanskaya oil depot, is one of the largest centers for the storage and transshipment of petroleum products in the eastern part of the Crimean Peninsula. The facility is used to stockpile fuel and meet the needs of the Russian military contingent.
A fire was reported on the base’s grounds following the strike.
The second is an oil depot near Feodosia, which is the largest oil transshipment complex in occupied Crimea.
Its capacity allows for the processing of up to 10–12 million tons of petroleum products per year. The infrastructure ensured fuel supplies for Russia’s army.
In addition to Crimea, the Ukrainian military also struck:
- Russian FSB command post near Volokonovka in the Belgorod region
- Russian ammunition depot near Svobodne in the Donetsk region
- Areas where Russian forces were concentrated near Shchastia in the Luhansk region
- Russian troop concentrations near Blahodatne in the Donetsk region.
Ukraine's General Staff emphasizes that the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to strike at the military capabilities of the Russian army and reduce its ability to wage war against Ukraine.
Attacks on Crimea
Ukrainian drones struck an oil depot near Lenine and a maritime oil terminal in Feodosia. Both facilities are of critical importance to Russian logistics.
Additionally, Special Operations Forces drones established air control over the land route to Crimea.
Due to regular strikes by Ukrainian drones on Russian oil refineries and fuel depots on the peninsula, strict restrictions and rationing have been imposed on gasoline.
