Ukrainian Drones Hit Two Key Fuel Hubs Supplying Russian Forces in Crimea, Video

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces carried out overnight drone strikes against two fuel infrastructure sites in temporarily Russian-occupied Crimea on June 7, targeting the Semykolodezyanska oil depot and a maritime oil terminal in Feodosia.

According to Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SSO), the operation targeted facilities used by Russian forces to store, transport, and distribute fuel products supporting military logistics on the occupied peninsula.

The Semykolodezyanska oil depot is located in the settlement of Yedy-Kuyu, approximately 200 kilometers from the front line.

According to the SSO, the facility serves as a transshipment hub for fuel oil, diesel fuel, bitumen, and other petroleum products. The site reportedly contains nine storage tanks with capacities ranging from 700 to 3,000 cubic meters.

The second target was the maritime oil terminal in Feodosia, located roughly 250 kilometers from the front line. According to the SSO, the terminal includes seven storage tanks with capacities of 10,000 and 20,000 cubic meters and is used to transfer petroleum products from rail tankers to maritime vessels. Ukrainian forces said Russian occupation authorities use the facility as a reserve fuel supply point for Crimea.

“Striking the enemy’s oil infrastructure reduces its economic and logistical capabilities. The Special Operations Forces continue to conduct asymmetric operations aimed at strategically weakening the enemy’s ability to wage war against Ukraine,” the SSO said in a statement.

Earlier, Ukraine struck the port of Russian-occupied Mariupol, a key logistics hub used by Russian forces to transport fuel, military equipment, ammunition, and other supplies across occupied southern Ukraine. Video from the scene showed thick black smoke rising above the port following reported overnight drone strikes.
