On the night of October 7, a fire occurred at an oil depot in Feodosia, Crimea, which, according to preliminary information, was caused by a drone attack. According to Russian Telegram channels, local residents heard several explosions around 4:30 am, after which a fire started at the oil depot.
The so-called “authorities” of Crimea confirmed the incident, but called it a “fire.” Advisor to the head of Crimea Oleg Kryuchov said that fire crews were working on the spot and that there were no casualties or injuries. Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea Igor Mikhailichenko went to the scene of the incident. In turn, the “head of the administration of Feodosia” Igor Tkachenko reported that traffic was blocked in the area of the incident.
According to updated information from the ASTRA Telegram channel, a fire occurred at the oil depot of Marine Oil Terminal JSC, which had already been subject to drone attacks earlier, in March 2024. Then 4 drones entered the facility, damaging the pipeline, which led to a fire and the evacuation of personnel.
The Feodosia oil refinery terminal is the largest in Crimea for transshipment of petroleum products, along with a similar facility in Sevastopol.
Also on the night of October 6–7, explosions were recorded at several facilities in the temporarily occupied Crimea. In the area of the Saki airfield in Novofedorovka, 7 explosions were heard, and later a fire started in the Saki region. Explosions and gunfire were also reported in the Simferopol region, likely as a result of a drone attack. In response to this, an air raid alert was announced throughout the Crimea.
A regime has been introduced in Feodosia man-made emergency of a municipal nature, the local occupation “administration” reports.
