Ukraine’s military confirmed it launched a successful missile strike on a large oil terminal in Feodosia, Crimea, late Sunday. The strike targeted the peninsula’s largest oil processing facility, which Ukraine says supplies Russia’s military forces. Russian-installed officials in Crimea reported a fire at the terminal, leading to the evacuation of 300 people, but no casualties have been confirmed.
Last night, in occupied Feodosia, drones hit not just a regular oil depot but an important transshipment hub for the Russians — an oil port that can receive tankers with oil products all year round, store them, and supply them throughout the occupied Crimea.

Local sources also reported up to 15 explosions near key military airfields, including the Saky and Belbek bases. The Russian Defense Ministry said it shot down 12 of 21 Ukrainian drones deployed overnight.
Russia continues to use Crimea as a strategic base for its Black Sea Fleet and military operations in Ukraine. Kyiv has vowed to reclaim the annexed peninsula, asserting that its strikes are retaliation for Russian attacks on Ukraine’s own energy infrastructure, which have severely damaged power facilities across the country.
The strike comes amid broader fighting in Ukraine’s east, where Russian forces claim to have captured the village of Hrodivka in the Donetsk region. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to face heavy Russian missile and drone attacks, with civilian casualties reported in Kherson and Sumy.
