Fires at fuel infrastructure
Independent monitoring groups analyzing satellite imagery reported several fires at fuel and logistical facilities in the region.
In Kerch, satellite data indicated an active fire at the Sea Fishing Port. Thermal signatures were primarily located on the premises of the “AEGAZ-Terminal,” a specialized complex for handling and transferring liquefied gas.
Approximately 600 meters west of the gas facility, additional fires were recorded at a fuel terminal owned by the “TES” company. According to ASTRA and Crimean Wind Telegram channels, this terminal is used for storing and transferring petroleum products, including mazut and diesel fuel, across the Kerch Strait.
The facility supplies fuel to vessels and services the “Crimea-Caucasus” ferry crossing. Satellite monitoring reported a 66-kilometer smoke plume extending from the port area.
