Drones attacked an oil depot in occupied Feodosia, sparking a large-scale fire at the site, Russian state media and local channels wrote on Oct. 13.
The explosions were reported around 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 12.
The Crimean Wind Telegram channel suggested that an electrical substation near Feodosia, known as “Kafa,” may also have been hit.
Crimean occupation head Sergey Aksyonov confirmed the attack, claiming that local air defenses allegedly shot down 20 drones.
“Am enemy UAV attacked the oil depot in Feodosia, causing a fire," Aksyonov claimed.
"Preliminary reports indicate no casualties. Emergency services are working at the scene. Air defenses reportedly shot down more than 20 drones.”
Feodosia refinery is the largest in occupied Crimea, with an annual capacity of 12 million tons of oil products and storage facilities capable of holding 250,000 tons at once. The facility has previously come under Ukrainian attack.
On Oct. 6, Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed a strike on the Sea Oil Terminal in Feodosia, which also caused a fire. The next day, the blaze intensified and spread to additional storage tanks.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
