Ukraine’s Defense Forces carried out overnight drone strikes against multiple Russian targets, including an oil terminal in occupied Feodosia and military logistics facilities in the Donetsk region, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on November 11.
The statement said the operation aimed to degrade Russia’s military and economic capabilities. One of the targets was the “Morskoy Oil Terminal” in Feodosia, a key node for transporting fuel and lubricants to occupied Crimea and southern Ukraine.
The General Staff confirmed that “direct hits on storage tanks at the facility were recorded,” with the extent of damage still being assessed.
Local monitoring group Krymskyi Veter reported that explosions and anti-aircraft fire were heard near Feodosia shortly after midnight. Witnesses described automatic gunfire coming from the terminal area, and local Telegram channels later mentioned that access roads around the site were temporarily blocked by occupation authorities.

In eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian forces also struck a Russian logistics warehouse in Donetsk and troop concentrations near the village of Ocheretyne. According to the General Staff, the attack drones “successfully reached their designated targets,” and battle damage assessments are ongoing.
Additionally, Ukraine confirmed an overnight strike on the Saratov Oil Refinery in Russia’s Saratov region. The plant produces over 20 types of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and vacuum gas oil, and is used to support Russia’s military operations.
Earlier, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) chief Vasyl Malyuk reported that it has carried out more than 160 successful strikes on Russian oil production facilities since the start of 2025.
