Attack on oil depot in Feodosia

On October 6, the temporarily occupied city of Feodosia (Crimea) was attacked by drones, which caused a massive fire at a local oil depot. According to local media, the Saki airfield in Novofedorovka was initially hit, and explosions were soon reported in Feodosia.

Moreover, this oil depot had previously been attacked by Ukrainian forces in October 2024. It is the largest in Crimea, with a throughput capacity of 12 million tons of petroleum products per year and storage capacity for 250,000 tons of products at a time.
