Crimea Governor Sergei Aksyonov said air defense systems downed more than 20 drones as they attacked a fuel base in the port city of Feodosia, where he confirmed a fire had broken out.
Aksyonov said emergency crews were dispatched to the Feodosia oil terminal, adding that no one was reported injured or killed in the air attack.
Several Telegram channels shared video footage of what was said to be the burning oil terminal after the drone assault. NASA’s fire information system showed multiple active fires at the site of the Feodosia terminal.
The Feodosia oil terminal, located roughly 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the front line in Ukraine, was set ablaze earlier this month following a drone attack. With a capacity of up to 250,000 tons, it is the peninsula’s largest oil storage and transshipment hub.
