Since nightfall, numerous explosions have been heard in Kerch, which is in temporarily occupied Crimea, and Russian air defenses were also in action: drones were attacking the peninsula. The Internet reported arrivals in various parts of the city.
In particular, the port in Kerch was hit, where a fire broke out at the terminal for transshipment and storage of petroleum products and liquefied gas, and at the same time, it also reached the port “Kavkaz” in the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation, from where fuel is delivered to Crimea by ferries. Information about the consequences of the attack and video from the scene were collected by the Telegram channel Exilenova+.
Explosive night in Kerch
The channel began reporting on the explosions in Kerch and the fire near the local port after 1 a.m.
“Kerch is under massive attack by strike drones. Arrivals are reported in various areas of the city and a fire in the port,” one of the channel’s first reports said.
Footage taken by eyewitnesses shows that the fire in the port area was large-scale.
“As of this morning, there was a massive attack by shock troops in Kerch, explosions were heard throughout the city. A hit on the port was recorded, probably today they will show footage from a UAV, and you will learn a lot of interesting things. It seems that they are cutting a corridor to the Crimean Bridge to block or inflict damage,” Exilenova+ suggested.
The attack on the port in Kerch (and not only) is also confirmed by the Falcon Insight channel.
“June 21, 2026, Kerch, Crimea. Among the probable hits are the Kerch seaport, industrial zone, TES-Terminal, namely the railway terminal for transshipment and storage of petroleum products and liquefied gas: 45°20’04.25″N 36°27’57.93″E,” the message says.
After some time, the authors of the channel confirmed that the oil products/liquefied gas transshipment and storage terminal at coordinates 45°21’48.30″N 36°28’15.30″E was indeed hit.
The same conclusion was reached on the Dnipro Osint channel ⟨Garbuz⟩.
“After a nighttime UAV attack, a tank farm is on fire in the port of Kerch. It seems that the barrels were caught full, the fire is large-scale,” the report states.
Falcon Insight also pointed to the probable damage to the location of military unit 98546.
“This number belongs to the 630th separate rail battalion, which is part of the 39th separate railway brigade of the Russian Federation: 45°21’06.19″N 36°35’39.63″E,” the channel noted.
At the same time as Crimea, good drones visited the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation, namely the port of Kavkaz, from where the Russians transport petroleum products to the occupied peninsula by ferries.
According to Falcon Insight’s estimates, the oil product transshipment complex (45°20’09.15″N 36°40’18.90″E) and the storage and waiting area before loading onto the ferry (45°20’31.62″N 36°40’42.92″E) were likely hit there.
The attack on the Krasnodar Territory was confirmed by the operational headquarters of this Russian region. They announced strikes on the Kerch ferry and oil terminal.
“In the Temryuk district, the ferry “Panagia” was attacked at the Kerch Strait. According to preliminary information, one person was killed and another was injured. Also, as a result of the UAV attack, a fire broke out at the oil terminal in the village of Chushka. Fire and rescue units arrived there,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, Exilenova+ stated that as of 6 a.m., fires in the ports of Kerch and Kavkaz are ongoing, which is confirmed by data from the FIRMS system and footage published by local residents.
“Two more fire outbreaks were also recorded: one in the village of Kurortne, where an air defense facility is located, and the second in the Kerch region, on the territory of military unit No. 98546,” the report says.
As OBOZ.UA reported, the day before, the Tavria TPP and a gas distribution station were attacked in occupied Crimea.
The attack resulted in a fire.
The AFU is doing an amazing job isolating Crimea from the mafia-terrorist federation. If they can keep this up, the peninsula will go belly up in the near future.
Any russians in Crimea illegally, remove your ass from the peninsula while you have chance. Soon you’ll have no escape route.
