"Overnight, trains standing at the Proletna railway station in the Simferopol district came under attack, triggering a fire," the report said.
It noted that a powerful explosion was heard in the area at around 2 a.m. Satellite data later showed a fire at the site that intensified significantly over the course of the following hour.
According to analysts from Crimean Wind, this could indicate either that the blaze intensified on its own or that the facility was struck again.
The rail yard is now burning out, with no visible open flames remaining, only smoke.
Strikes on the Chonhar Bridge and Crimea's fuel crisis
The attack on the Chonhar Bridge became known on June 7. Following severe damage to the roadway, representatives of the Russian-installed administration in the occupied part of Ukraine's Kherson region suspended traffic across the crossing.
On the night of June 9, Ukraine's Defense Forces launched a second strike on the Chonhar Bridge. Ukrainian military officials said they used specialized systems developed by Fire Point and Behemoth long-range unmanned aerial vehicles to attack the strategic facility.
On June 11, Dmytro "Perun" Filatov, commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment, said Ukraine's Defense Forces had struck a convoy of about 50 trucks moving through Armyansk in Crimea after traffic through Chonhar had been halted.
Satellite images published on June 12 showed new queues of trucks forming near the pontoon crossing by Chonhar after the bridge was damaged, while traffic heading toward Crimea had virtually stopped.
On June 13, Filatov confirmed new strikes targeting railway links and a pontoon crossing used by Russian forces in the Chonhar direction.
In late May, the Russian-installed authorities in Crimea introduced restrictions on fuel sales, limiting purchases to 20 liters (5.3 gallons) per person per day. Reports later circulated online claiming that the sale of fuel vouchers to private individuals had been suspended across the peninsula.
On June 4, Sergei Aksyonov, the Kremlin-installed head of occupied Crimea, said gasoline sales on the peninsula had been completely restricted for "several days." Fuel would still be available through previously purchased vouchers, he said, but officials at each gas station would monitor whether anyone exceeded the established limits.
Earlier, Astra reported that Russian tourists were unable to leave Crimea because of gasoline shortages. Social media users complained en masse about being unable to purchase fuel vouchers.
Occupied Crimea has also dropped out of the list of the most popular tourist destinations among Russians. As of June 6, it accounted for just 1.5% of travel sales, The Moscow Times reported.
