Ukraine hits Tavriyska thermal power plant, other targets in Crimea
Ukraine carried out a series of drone attacks against targets in occupied Crimea overnight on Monday, Ukrainian news sites said, citing Telegram channel Krymskyi Veter (Crimean Wind). Eyewitness accounts described hearing explosions and air defenses at work. The Tavriyska thermal power plant, the building of the border guard service of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) in Armyansk and fuel bases in Feodosiya were among the targets.
Fires were recorded in an area between two fuel bases in Feodosiya, Krymsyi Veter said.
Satellite data showed warm anomalies at the former 13th military base. A fuel base of the Atan network of gas stations is located 400 meters to the southwest from the spot. The Feodosiya fuel base sits 500 meters to the northeast from the site.
Satellite data also showed sources of fire at the building of the border guard service of Russia’s FSB in Armyansk.
Local residents said power was cut off in Feodosiya after an explosion.
The peninsula’s Russian-installed administration did not comment on the results of the attack.
Earlier reports said power cuts and rolling outages were introduced in Crimea after a drone attack on the peninsula overnight on Sunday.
Russian authorities said power lines were damaged, causing massive power cuts in three areas in the north-west, center and south, The New Voice of Ukraine said.
A massive fire erupted at a fuel terminal at the sea fish port in Kerch after a drone attack overnight on Sunday. Russia-installed Crimean authorities halted sales of fuel at gas stations.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine later said that the Ukrainian military struck an oil terminal in Kerch and the Kavkaz port in Russia’s Krasnodar region overnight on Sunday. They also hit the Tumen oil refinery on Saturday, 2,000 kilometers away from the Ukrainian border.
Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Major Robert Brovdi who goes by the call sign Magyar posted a video to social media on Sunday, showing the moments of strikes against an oil depot of the Kerch oil terminal. He also apologized to the Ukrainians in the occupied territory for “constant anxiety, closed bridges and highways, darkness, absence of silence and stress.” He also advised them to “stay away from military sites and all things flammable.”
