Crimea’s largest oil depot in occupied Feodosia has been burning for the fourth consecutive day following a Ukrainian drone strike on Oct. 7.

The Telegram channel Crimean Wind posted a video of another storage tank exploding on Oct. 10.

“This is the moment of the explosion of yet another tank at the Feodosia oil depot,” the video description said.

“Experts have noted that such a fire cannot be extinguished until it burns out on its own.”

Sergei Aksyonov, the “head” of the Russian occupation authority in Crimea, described the latest explosion as a “release of combustible materials at one of the terminals.” He added that the "terminal is surrounded by all relevant emergency services."

An hour later, Crimean Wind posted footage of yet another explosion at the site.

“A total of two [fuel tank explosions] tonight,” the message said.
