On the night of Saturday, June 21, drones attacked the port in Kerch in the temporarily occupied Crimea and the Kavkaz Port in Russia’s Krasnodar region; fires broke out as a result of the strikes.
According to Ukrinform, the ASTRA Telegram channel reported this.
According to OSINT analysis, the oil depot at the Kerch Trading Sea Port is on fire following the attack.
The oil depot is located less than a kilometer from the point where the Kerch Bridge connects to the coastline; it is used to store and transship petroleum products across the Kerch Strait. The fuel terminal supplies fuel to ships and serves the Crimea–Caucasus ferry crossing, which connects the temporarily occupied Crimea with mainland Russia.
A fire was also detected at the Kavkaz Port on the Russian shore of the Kerch Strait. The blaze was detected using NASA’s FIRMS satellite service, which tracks temperature anomalies.
Kavkaz Port can accommodate car and rail ferries and is one of the largest passenger ports in the Russian Federation.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down 239 drones last night over the territories of the Astrakhan, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, and Rostov, Krasnodar region, and the Republic of Adygea in the Russian Federation, as well as over occupied Crimea and the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.
As reported by Ukrinform, the day before, the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck gas infrastructure in Crimea, bridges across the Henichesk Strait, and several other targets on the peninsula itself, as well as in the Kherson, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions.
