Summary
Ukrainian drones struck the Semikolodyansk oil depot near Yedi Quyu and the marine oil terminal in Feodosia overnight, hitting two fuel facilities in occupied Crimea 200-250 kilometers from the front.
NASA fire-monitoring data cited by pro-Ukrainian outlet Exilenova+ showed a fire at the depot, with thermal activity continuing to expand after the attack.
Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said the depot serves as a regional logistics hub and the Feodosia terminal can move crude and petroleum products from rail tank cars to seagoing vessels, making both sites part of Crimea's fuel supply chain.
Russia's Defense Ministry said air defenses intercepted 95 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory and occupied Crimea overnight, but reported no infrastructure damage.
The strike fits Ukraine's broader campaign of using domestically produced drones to hit Russian oil, logistics and defense targets deep behind the front.
